Organic Mycorrcin
Improve soil health by activating beneficial soil microbes and mycorrhizal fungi.

Growing healthy plants starts with healthy, biologically active soil with thriving populations of beneficial soil microbes (bacteria and fungi, including mycorrhizal fungi).
Healthy, biologically active soil supports plant health by increasing root activity and nutrient uptake, improving soil structure and stimulating plant immunity through the Induced Systemic Resistance (ISR) pathway.
Organic Mycorrcin is a biostimulant that stimulates populations of beneficial soil microbes for healthier, more biologically active soil that supports plant growth.
Use Mycorrcin to:
- Stimulate new root activity
- Activate mycorrhizal fungi association
- Improve soil structure
- Increase calcium and phosphate uptake
- Remedy compaction (by repairing soil aggregate formation)
- Suppress soil disease development
- Improve fruit quality and flavour
Organic Mycorrcin is recommended for a wide range of crops and growing operations including grapes, top fruit, vegetables, turf, cereals, pasture, lucerne, hydroponics, container crops and composting.
It’s easy to use in your current growing system. Organic Mycorrcin can be tank mixed with herbicides, fertigation nutrients and suspension fertiliser, and be applied through fertigation systems and through overhead irrigation systems (when fitted with an appropriate system).
Whether used to support plant and soil health at key stages (like bud break or fruit set) or more consistently to improve overall soil health, Organic Mycorrcin works by stimulating life in the soil in support a wide range of biological farming goals.
Organic Mycorrcin is certified organic.

Kumara Trial Northland trials showed that Mycorrcin-treated kumara crops had a higher plant survival rate, higher kumara tuber weights and improved marketable kumara yield. Read more |

Vegetable Seedling Trial Trials on broccoli, lettuce and cauliflower seedlings treated with Mycorrcin showed greater root development and bigger, sturdier and more uniform seedling size. Read more |
Directions for use:
- Apply Organic Mycorrcin to activate soil microbial activity in time with key crop stages such as at planting, at bud break, at fruit set or at fruit colour development
- Apply Organic Mycorrcin directly on to soil
- Organic Mycorrcin needs soil moisture/rain and active soil biology
- For low organic matter and/or low fertility soils apply Organic Mycorrcin regularly in smaller amounts through a fertigation or irrigation system
- For best results avoid applying Organic Mycorrcin in the heat of the day.
