Soil amendments: amXact
"amXact" is a soil amendment that utilizes arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AM fungi), which are microorganisms that form symbiotic relationships with plant roots. AM fungi can form symbiotic associations with approximately 80% of terrestrial plants. They penetrate plant roots and assist in the absorption of essential nutrients such as phosphorus from the soil, thereby promoting plant growth. Additionally, AM fungi enhance resistance to pests and diseases and improve tolerance to environmental stresses.
Product Overview
"amXact" is soil amendments that use arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AM fungi), microorganism that symbiotically associate with plant roots.
AM fungi can form symbiotic relationships with approximately 80% of terrestrial plants. *1
AM fungi invade plant roots and help absorb essential nutrients such as phosphate from the soil, promoting plant growth. *2
Additionally, numerous studies have reported that AM fungi are effective in enhancing resistance to pests and diseases, as well as improving tolerance to environmental stress.
*1 AM fungi cannot form symbiotic relationships with certain plants, such as those in the Brassicaceae, Polygonaceae, and Amaranthaceae families.

Benefit
1. Promotion of Plant Growth
AM fungi form a symbiotic relationship with plant roots, efficiently absorbing phosphorus and other nutrients from the soil and supplying them to the plant.
This promotes plant growth.
2. Reduction of Chemical Fertilizers:
The use of AM fungi can reduce the amount of chemical fertilizers needed, which also helps to lessen environmental impact.
3. Improvement of Soil Health
AM fungi improve soil structure and enhance water retention capacity.
This leads to better soil health and increased disease resistance in crops.
4. Increase in Yield and Quality
Many studies have reported that using AM fungi materials can increase crop yield and quality.
For example, trials with green onions and soybeans have shown increased yields and improved quality.
5. Enhancement of Environmental Adaptability
AM fungi enhance the environmental adaptability of plants, improving their resistance to climatic changes such as drought and heavy rainfall.
Features
High Propagule Count
Due to the high concentration of AM fungal propagules* in the soil amendment, a large number of AM fungi can establish symbiosis with plan roots.
As a result, the plants are able to efficiently absorb more nutrients through their symbiotic relationship with AM fungi.
*AM Fungi Propagules:
AM Fungi Propagules refer to the “units” that enable AM fungi to form symbiotic relationships with plant roots.
Specifically, spores, hyphal fragments, and colonized root pieces function as propagules.
