Fungi is typically a secondary concern, at best, for farmers. If they think about fungi at all it’s typically in the context of pest control. But all of that has been changing over the past few years. New research has shed light on the reason why so many plants grow stronger in the wild than they do under cultivation. The answer comes down to one surprising point – fungi. Or, in particular, a special form of life called mycorrhizal fungi.
Using a bioag-focused methodology means leveraging all of the tools that nature has to offer. In this case, mycorrhizal fungi act as a way to supercharge carbon sequestration. The use of mycorrhizal fungi brings with it several benefits related to that process. Of course, the most readily apparent is the enhanced transportation of carbon into the soil and the larger root system. This helps both the plants and overall carbon processing.
But bioag and related processes also bring with them another huge benefit. You’re not just helping your crops, you’re helping the world. The use of mycorrhizal fungi on a local level helps to increase the overall health of your land. It’s somewhat akin to improving circulation in the human body. Living systems need optimal distribution and processing of the elements of life. For humans that means all of the elements found in blood. For plants, and animals in the soil, that means the distribution of carbon and other important elements. You can find out more by visiting the website of Groundwork BioAg.
