Differences between Mycorrhizae and Trichodermas

What are Mycorrhizae and Trichodermas? This article clarifies Mycorrhizae and Trichodermas. MYCORRHIZES The name Mycorrhiza comes from "myces" and "rhiza" representing the symbiosis between fungi and roots. The two most widely used and recognized types of mycorrhizae are Endomycorrhizae and Ectomycorrhizae. Differences between Endo and Ectomycorrhizae: - Endomycorrhizae: The mycelium of endomycorrhizae invades the root and then penetrates inside the cells. - Ectomycorrhizae: The mycelium of ectomycorrhizae invades the root but unlike endomycorrhizae, they do not enter inside the cells. More than 90% of plants of all types enter into...

Cannabis. Additives and Nutrients. Outdoor cultivation

In this article, we will detail the importance of nutrients but also of other no less important elements for outdoor growing. The most important elements are water, sunlight hours and ventilation. Plants feed on organic matter and through sunlight, which they convert into food, they transform light energy into stable chemical energy. Basically, the main sources of energy for plants come from the sun, water and carbon dioxide. Therefore, no matter how much fertilizer the plant receives, without the minimum sunlight hours it...
