FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
How was MykoPlus developed?
Developed in 2013 with financial support from DOST-PCAARRD and DOST-PCIEERD, through research projects that explored the combination of different beneficial microorganisms that can benefit crops. Endomycorrhiza (root-fungus symbiotic association) greatly enhances the roots’ absorbing capacity, while nitrogen fixing, phosphorus solubilizing, and growth hormone secreting bacteria provide for a more holistic approach to improve plant growth.
What are the benefits of using MykoPlus?
- Good seed germination
- Good root development
- Better growth of plants
- More grain and fruit yield
- Savings on chemical fertilizer
- Easy to use and safe to the environment
How do you use MykoPlus?
1. For rice
1st application: MykoPlus is coated onto rice seeds (palay) that have been soaked overnight in water, then returned to sacks for overnight incubation again. The following day, they are ready for placement in the nursery or on “dapog” style.
Rate of application for coating: 1 pack (300 g) per 10 kilo palay.
2nd application: Day before transplanting: Mix a pack to 16 li water in a drum, stir for a few minutes, then transfer to a sprinkler and water onto seedlings.
3rd application: 30 Days after transplanting: Mix a pack to 16 li water in a drum, stir, then transfer to a knapsack sprayer and spray onto leaves and soil.
Application rate: 10 packs MykoPlus can be used per hectare of rice.
2. For corn
1st application: Coat corn seeds with MykoPlus with a small amount of water to make them stick onto the seeds. Sow immediately. Use about 4 packs per hectare of corn
2nd application: 30 Days after transplanting: Mix a pack to 16 Li water in a drum, stir, then transfer to a knapsack sprayer and spray onto leaves and soil.
Application rate: 10 packs MykoPlus can be used per hectare of rice.
3. For vegetables, tubers, and other planting materials
MykoPlus is added in the germination medium, either mix 3 packs per 50 kilo potting medium or 5 g (1 teaspoon) per seedling.
4. For fruit and forest trees
MykoPlus is added near the base of the plant. Place a hole using a bamboo stick then 2 teaspoons are added. Organic or chemical fertilizers are added after a week to maximize the inoculation.
