Mycorrhiza

Here is Webster's definition of Mycorrhiza:

    "n, pl -zae\-ze\or -zas [NL, fr. myc- + Gk rhiza root] (1895): the symbiotic association of the mycelium of a fungus with roots of a seed plant.."

A noun described as a verb, with three plural spellings! Already you have to be fascinated with this dynamic substance.

We are very excited about the application of Mycorrhiza to grapevines. We think that its use in the process of planting a grapevine may soon be considered just as routine and essential as digging a hole. However, since this is our first year of experience treating vines with one of the commercially available products, we have no first-hand information to pass along.

There is an ample amount of information on Mycorrhiza on-line, and the products are available on-line. Vendors provide substantive information as well as the on-line purchase facility. Here are a few links.
