Mycorrhizae making my bananas grow slower
So I stumbled on some information regarding bananas and mycorrhizae. In it I found that a particular type of mycorrhizae can cause a banana to grow slower in most ways than not having any mycorrhizae at all. Also, I am using only one type and it happens to be that one.
I am wondering if this is why all my knew bananas and my GF have all been growing so slow. If so how do I kill it so I may try another, or see how they do without it. You can read about the test below. http://brokert10.fcla.edu/DLData/NM/...1/00P0250Z.pdf |

Re: Mycorrhizae making my bananas grow slower
Dig it up, wash the roots and replant in a different spot with the different strain.

Re: Mycorrhizae making my bananas grow slower
I don't know about this study... I would have liked to see what a controls with just all three kinds of mycrorrhize without the nematodes added too--would have done. The final analysis of the plants in table 4 on page 74 (6/8 on the link) of the study shows that the kind of mycrorrhize commonly used in potting soil caused the highest analysis of nutrient content in the tissue after being planted in nematode infested soil for 8-10 months.
Since most of us don't have nematodes, this study doesn't help a whole lot that I can see. I kind of doubt that your potting soil is causing your plants to grow slow. I know mine used to grow a lot slower three years ago when I started growing them than they do now...lol... and I was using the same potting soil. Experience sure does help.

Re: Mycorrhizae making my bananas grow slower
I wonder weather any particular fertilizers regarding the destruction of the mycorrhizae is available in the market or not. That is quite a new factor for me and need to know more about it to make my grow more productive.
