Got a couple of questions on this please help if you can.

1.Are the commercial products available today still produced in association with plants by this I mean is it chopped up roots of innoculated plants?

2.what/where/how can I test my soil for existing levels of mycorrhiza?

Thanks

Soilfoodweb.com may do testing for mycorrhizae. I know they test for other biologicals in your soil. I believe they have a lab in Europe too.

I don't know of anyone using chopped up roots of innoculated plants. The 2 websites where I've found the best information on mycorrhizae are:

www.mycorrhizae.com
www.fungi.com

They seem to be the foremost experts on the subject from the research I've done. I know Dr. Ingham recommends the first site I listed.
