Product Category: Fertility & Nutrient Management

Manufacturer:  MycoGold LLC

For use on: Corn, Soybeans
Rate: 2 oz./ 50lb. of seed
Method of Application: Similar to other seed lubricants, mix MycoGold evenly with seeds when filling the planter box using a grain auger or directly in the hopper or other container.

MycoGold® offers crop specific blends that are effective with improving production, creating better soil environments, and defending against disease and infestations. MycoGold is a complete package biological inoculant that starts working from germination all the way to harvest. MycoGold’s key biologicals work as bio-fertilizers.

MSU Extension MycoGold Analysis

Key Benefits

  • Improved nutrient and water uptake
  • Improved Phosphorous uptake
  • Defends against disease and insect pests
  • Supplemental nutrition for optimal seedling start
  • Talc/graphite replacement

The MycoGold Advantage

  • 8-20% Yield Increases
    By improving nutrient uptake and soil biology, MycoGold seed inoculant supports plant growth leading to yield increases.
  • Improved Pest Resistance
    Through root colonization, research has determined better plant defenses against disease. The Beauveria Bassiana fungi grows endophytically through the plant defending against various insect pests.
  • High Counts of Endo Fungi Propagules
    Propagules start benefiting the plant in the early stages and are more effective than spores for row crops short growing season.
  • Improved Drought Resistance
    Since MycoGold seed inoculant supports water uptake from the soil, it strengthens plants in drought periods. This is of high importance in times of increasingly extreme climate conditions.

How MycoGold Mycorrhizal Fungi Inoculant Works

Mycorrhizal Fungi is the only known fungal system which is categorized as a bio-fertilizer. Its hyphae can extend much beyond a few meters away from the depletion zone and thus can acquire nutrients from a much wider soil area. The mycorrhizal fungus grows as a vast web of tiny filaments in plant roots and the surrounding soil. The fungal threads, called mycelia, explore a much larger area than do the plant roots. When the mycorrhizae encounter limited resources, such as water, phosphorus or micronutrients, they can pass them on to their associated plant. Mycorrhizal fungi seed inoculant can increase plants’ access to phosphorus, ammonium, potassium, calcium, iron, copper, manganese, zinc and nickel. MycoGold® Mycorrhizal Fungi seed treatment can also help with drought resistance and heat tolerance. This is partly the result of mycorrhizae-induced hormonal changes in plants, which allow them to maintain a better water balance under drought conditions. Mycorrhizae allows for a 25% reduction of water in row crops which makes it a great drought insurance.
