I believe in myco for tomatoes. In the start mix and the planting hole. Also Tom's Extreme Blend to feed your tomato plants during rearing to plantout. ExtremePumpkinStore has that stuff... they love humic and kelp fert too.

yup, testing a bunch of maters now, it all works better than nothing at all, about double the roots, testing 4 different kinds of mycos, and doing the test 3 times all under the same conditions, on my 3rd test now, this is fun, scott...........

since yall are on the subject of mycorrhiza. How long should you let the tomato plant grow in the mycor. before you start using commercial fertilizer like 13-13-13, calcium nitrate? I know the mycor needs a head start but don't know how much. I know you can use both if you don't over use the commercial. I know you don't have to use as much commercial fertilizer if you use mycorr.

I recall reading that application of mycorrhizal fungal spores can be beneficial to most garden plants - except cruciferous veggies (brocolli, etc.).

It's also my understanding that mychorrhizal fungi are very delicate and are quite sensitive to soil compaction, tilling, hoeing, and chemical fertilizers if used in high concentrations.

Scott - I, for one, will be very interested in your research results. Keep us posted!

If your soil is good & it should if you have tested & added amendments.You should not need fertz's for a least a month.It can only burn the plant.Then I would use a reduced amount.Just my way,maybe not the best way.

Mykos is RTI's world record-breaking mycorrhizal innoculant. Averaging 3000 spores per 50 ml sample, it is the nation’s highest spore count endo-mycorrhizal inoculant. Mykos is registered with certified INVAM pedigrees (INVAM being the world’s utmost authority on the culturing of mycorrhizae) and its Glomus intraradices 801 species, proprietary to RTI, is considered to be the most aggressive, high-yielding strain of mycorrhizae ever produced. so i have read, scott

Aaron,
I use Mycorrhiza on Peppers and Tomatoes as well.
My plants are always great plants that produce very well.
I'll have to get you a few images of my plants grown in 20 gallon containers, it'll make ya think twice about not using containers.
