It is a bacterium with a high capacity for adaptation to the rhizosphere and tolerance to drought, it reproduces rapidly in the soil and manages to survive for long periods, with rapid reproduction and competitive colonization. It has a high capacity for solubilizing phosphorus and increases the concentration of mycelium and truffle mycorrhizae in the soil.
The cost of carrying out four annual treatments in a truffle plantation is only €50 per hectare and year.
General characteristics and how it works:
At Micofora we started working with Pseudomonas fluorescens in 2011, a bacteria already widely described as a co-helper in mycorrhization, but whose main problem in terms of its commercialization was that it quickly loses its viability at room temperature, especially when formulated in liquid form. Our team has developed a freeze-dried strain in powder form that maintains viability for 12 months.
In the studies we have carried out, when quantifying truffle mycelium with DNA, we observed how after adding this bacteria, the concentration of truffle mycelium grows exponentially in the nursery and especially in young oak plantations, with a direct correlation to start fruiting these young trees in the field.
Supply format and dose of use:
1kg container, water-soluble powder product, concentrated at 2×108 CFU/g. Its application is recommended on truffle trees at any stage of cultivation. It is recommended to repeat the application 2-4 times during the vegetative phase of the tree during its growing season.
Application doses are:
- 1-3 year old trees 0.2 g/tree
- 4-9 year old trees 0.5 g/tree
- 10 year old trees 1 g/tree
- Wells or nests: 0.5 g/tree
