Como capturar micorrizas no método boneca

Mycorrhizae: Where to find them: I explain that the ideal location is not a forest rich in organic matter, but rather an abandoned backyard or poor soil where the plants are vigorous and flowering. [01:25, 02:23] This happens because, in poor soil, the plant is "forced" to form a symbiotic relationship with the fungus to obtain phosphorus, zinc, and copper. [03:09, 03:41] Pest Precautions: Before collecting, I teach how to uproot a neighboring plant to check for nematodes (root galls). [07:35, 08:27] If the root is clean and white, the soil is safe. [08:36] The Doll Method: I collect the plant with as much soil and root as possible and wrap it in a porous cloth (old shirt or dishcloth). [09:34, 10:32] The secret is to cut the aerial part of the plant [11:18] to interrupt the sugar supply. Thus, the fungus senses it is going to die and releases thousands of spores into the soil. [12:10, 14:32] Drying and Hygiene: The doll should be hung in the shade, away from rain, for 20 to 30 days. [13:54, 16:17] This drying process kills harmful fungi (pathogens) that need moisture, but preserves the mycorrhizal spores, which are drought-resistant. [15:41, 16:45] Sugar Inoculation: To use, you soak the dry soil in chlorine-free water [20:24, 21:36] and add a little sugar (5 tablespoons for 5 liters). [25:44] The sugar increases the density of the water, making the spores float and "stick" better to the roots of the new seedlings. [22:45, 23:15]
