Beyond Organic: How Fungi Can Rebuild Dead Fields
You can call it worn out, depleted, or biologically bankrupt—but the truth is, most conventionally tilled fields are just dead. White salt patches. Crusted-over soil. Parts of fields that don’t even grow weeds anymore. If you’ve reached that point, there are no more band-aids. You need something that can rebuild the foundation. That’s where arbuscular…
Read MoreField Trials Don’t Lie: What the Data Says About Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi(AMF) in Corn
Every input promises a return. But as farmers know, talk is cheap, but real proof lives in the field. That’s why trials matter. When it comes to MycoMaxx, years of data across 1000’s locations tell a consistent story: better roots, healthier plants, bigger yields, and profitability. The benefits of AMF have been seen not just…
Read MoreRegenerative Farming Starts with the First Inch of Soil
You’ve heard the buzz around regenerative agriculture; less tillage, fewer inputs, more resilience. But what’s often overlooked in this conversation is where true regeneration begins: with the living biology in the top inch or two of your soil. It’s not just about cover crops and carbon credits. It’s about fungi. Specifically, arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi(AMF). These…
Read MoreThe Symbiosis That Pays: What Your Crops Give, and Get, from Fungi
Most farmers think of fertilizers, herbicides, and seed treatments as the tools that help grow a successful crop. But few inputs deliver as much value for as little effort as the ancient biological partnership between plants and arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi(AMF). This relationship isn’t just a scientific curiosity; it’s a proven, high-return investment in plant health,…
Read MoreThe Best Time to Apply Mycorrhizal Fungi Based on Your Crop Rotation
Adding mycorrhizal fungi to your fertility program isn’t just about picking the right product, it’s about applying it at the right time. And in rotational systems, timing is everything. With arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi(AMF) your fertilizer efficiency sky-rockets! Different crops can either support or suppress AMF development. Some, like corn, small grains, sunflowers, and beans, form…
Read MoreHow Soil Biology Beats Weeds – Without Reaching for the Sprayer
Weeds are more than a nuisance. They steal water, rob nutrients, crowd out cash crops, and push herbicide bills higher every season. But what if a way to reduce weed pressure wasn’t another chemical – what if it started with the soil? Farmers are discovering that building a healthy soil biology, especially by boosting arbuscular…
Read MoreCan Fungi Make Your Corn More Resilient in Drought Years?
Every farmer knows the fear of drought. The sky clouds over, the rain never comes, and the sun bakes the fields. No matter how good your seed, how well-timed your nitrogen, or how carefully you manage your pivots; drought stress can slash your yield and wreck your ROI. But some corn plants handle it better.…
Read More3 Ways Mycorrhizal Fungi Deliver Bigger Yields and Deeper Roots
Every farmer wants the same things: healthy crops, strong roots, good market prices, and bins full of grain after harvest. But with challenging weather patterns, rising input costs, and stressed-out soils, hitting those targets takes more than seed and fertilizer, it takes biology. That’s where arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi(AMF) come in. These naturally occurring soil organisms…
Read MoreThe Quiet Killer of Soil Health: What Tillage Is Really Doing to Your Fields
For generations, tillage has been a trusted practice. It breaks up compaction, buries residue, and creates a clean seedbed. But beneath the surface, there’s a hidden cost. Each time we disturb the soil, we disrupt its microbial life and some of the most beneficial organisms we’re destroying are arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi(AMF). These fungi aren’t just…
Read MoreWhy Your Fertilizer Bill Keeps Climbing and How Fungi Can Help Fix That
If you’re a farmer watching your input costs rise every season, you’re not alone. Fertilizer prices have surged in recent years, driven by global supply chain issues, rising natural gas prices, and tightening regulations. In 2022 alone, nitrogen fertilizer prices in the U.S. spiked by over 80% in some regions, with phosphate and potash not…
