BioGrow Endo Plus
(contains 3 species of Endomycorrhizal Fungi)

Many of the top growers in the World used our BioGrow Endo Plus this last season, including Quinn Werner, Bob Liggett, Pete Glasier, Michelle Lofthouse , Alan Gibson, Joe Sherber and Leonardo Urena.
Don’t be fooled by other brands that contain Ectomycorrhizal Fungi.. Ecto is for trees and other woody plants. Ecto is worthless for pumpkins. Pumpkins need Endomycorrhizal Fungi.

BioGrow Endo Plus contains three species of Endomycorrhizal Fungi plus 2 species of Tricoderma and a Biostimulant. I have been doing a lot of research into products that will help Giant Pumpkin Growers overcome the limiting effects of soil pathogens such as Fusarium, Pythium and Phytophora. The effects of soil pathogens are widespread and can limit the potential of your plants at low levels and completely wipe out pumpkin plants at high levels. BioGrow Endo Plus inoculates the roots of pumpkin plants with the critical Endomycorrhizal Fungi that all cucurbits need to grow strong and resist disease. BioGrow Endo Plus is like two products in one. It has the beneficial Endomycorrhizal Fungi and also contains two strains of Trichoderma, which is the active beneficial microbe in the product Rootshield, another powerful tool against soil pathogens. BioGrow Endo Plus comes as a dry granular media containing the dormant beneficial microbes. Mix some into the potting mix in which you start your seeds and also mix some into the planting hole when you set your plants out in the patch. The Endomycorrhizae and Trichoderma inoculate the growing roots and a beneficial symbiotic system is formed. The microbes grow out with the expanding root system, and colonize the entire growing area. Mycorrhizal Fungi (M.F.) creates long filaments that penetrate plant roots and can increase the absorptive area of roots by 10 to 1,000 times. Several miles of filaments can be present in a thimbleful of soil and act as an extension of the root system known as a mycelial network. M.F. are able to absorb and transfer all 15 major macro and micronutrients necessary for plant growth. They also release substances that dissolve tightly bound nutrients such as Phosphorus and Iron. In addition, M.F. attacks disease pathogens near the root zone by excreting specific antibiotics that immobilize and kill disease organisms. M.F. improves soil structure by producing humic compounds that bind soil particles into crumbs or granules. The result is a more porous soil with better aeration and water infiltration. BioGrow Endo Plus is appropriate for all cucurbits: pumpkins, squash, cucumbers and all melons. In soils highly contaminated with soil pathogens you may need to use a soil treatment such as Subdue Max and/or Clearys about 1 month before planting time. Directions for use: Thoroughly mix 3.5 ounces of BioGrow into each 1 cubic foot of potting soil or seed starting mix before filling pots for planting. When setting out transplants thoroughly mix 3.5 ounces of BioGrow into each 1 cubic foot of soil that is removed to make your planting hole. Backfill inoculated soil under where the plant will go and all around the root ball or peat pot to get immediate contact with emerging roots. The beneficial microbes will expand outward with the growing root system, and also inoculate roots, which come down from the vine and contact roots spreading out from the center. Later in the season you may want to use some BioGrow in the trench at the rooting site when burying vines some distance out. It now seems pretty clear that adding 1 to 2 Tablespoons at each leaf axil on the main and the lateral vines pays big dividends later in the season in increased pumpkin growth.  Many growers are now using 3 to 6 pounds per plant and are setting new personal best records.

BIOGROW HYDRO-SOL

BIOGROW HYDRO-SOL is a very concentrated, powdered soluble Endomycorrhizae. Two to three Tablespoons makes a gallon of liquid inoculant. Technically the product goes into a “suspension”, rather

than a true solution. Some sedimentation of the carrier material will occur, but very little of the Mycorrhizae will settle out. BIOGROW HYDRO-SOL should be agitated from time to time during application.

BIOGROW HYDRO-SOL can be watered in around a young plant to ensure complete inoculation. It also can be watered in along the main vine and the laterals as well. Anytime during the season, and especially after the plant is full-sized, BIOGROW HYDRO-SOL can be introduced into the irrigation water to make sure all parts of the plant’s root system are inoculated with ENDOMYCORRHIZAL FUNGI. BIOGROW HYDRO-SOL will go through most sprinklers with no problems. If you have tiny orifice sprinklers or misters, you may want to test on a single head first.

If only one kind of MYCORRHIZAE is to be used, we still recommend our BIOGROW ENDO PLUS granular product. BIOGROW ENDO PLUS should be used in the seed starting mix, in the planting hole, and at each leaf axil. BIOGROW HYDRO-SOL can play an important part in a total program as well. BIOGROW HYDRO-SOL is 30% to 60% more concentrated than some other brands.

BIOGROW AQUA-SOL PLUS

BIOGROW AQUA-SOL PLUS is a very unique product and has great potential in helping the sport of Giant Pumpkin Growing reach new levels. BIOGROW AQUA-SOL PLUS is a soluble black powder that works in much the same way as our BIOGROW HYDRO-SOL. The big difference with the BIOGROW AQUA-SOL PLUS is that it also contains 19 beneficial soil bacteria. BIOGROW AQUA-SOL PLUS also contains more species of “ENDO”, 9 in all, and has 2 species of Trichoderma and a biostimulant as well. The list of the beneficial bacteria would include: Bacillus Subtillus, Bacillus Licheniformis, Bacillus Azotoformans, Bacillus Megaterium, Bacillus Coagulans, Bacillus Purnlis, Bacillus Thuringiensis, Bacillus Stearothemiphilis, Paenibaccillus Polymyxa, Paenibaccillus Durum, Paenibaccullus Florescence, Paenibaccillus Gordonae, Azobactor Polymyxa, Azobactor Chroococcum, Sacchromyces Cervisiae, Streptomyces Griseues, StreptomycesLydicus, Pseudomonas Aureofaceans, Deinococcus Erythromyxa, 6 billion cfu/lb. Use two Tablespoons per gallon of water.
