How AGTIV THRIVE® works
Root Penetration
The filaments of mycorrhizal fungi, called hyphae, penetrate the roots, creating an internal network of vesicles and arbuscules for nutrient exchange.
Expansion of Absorption Area
Mycorrhizae increase the area of nutrient and water absorption up to 100 times thanks to their vast network of external hyphae. This vast network acts as a second root system, providing access to more phosphorus, an essential nutrient for energy and plant growth.
Nodule Formation
Meanwhile, the root hairs capture the beneficial rhizobium bacteria, leading to the formation of nodules which act as factories for the production and transfer of nitrogen into a form that the plant can use for protein production.
Tripartite: Mutually Beneficial Relationship
In exchange for sugars supplied by the plant, the rhizobium fixes the atmospheric nitrogen required for legume growth, and the mycorrhizae supply more phosphorus to the rhizobium.
