Reach Higher Crop Performance with
Robust Transplants
MycoApply® EndoMaxx establishes a strong foundation for transplant production.
Plant and soil health below the surface is just as vital as it
is above the ground — and establishing the best start at
transplant helps get the most out of a crop at harvest.
“In order to produce healthy and high-yielding crops,
it’s important to consider the means for a successful
transplant production,” said Mike Martin, vegetable crop
manager at Valent. “It starts with developing a strong root
system, ultimately allowing growers to reap the full yield
benefits from their crops.”
Building Better Crop Performance at Transplant
MycoApply EndoMaxx improves a crop transplant’s
survivability and output through root mass expansion,
nutrient uptake and drought tolerance. For optimal plant/
soil health, performance and yield for vegetables and
berries, growers should use MycoApply EndoMaxx as a
pre-plant tray drench, in at-plant transplant water or via
subsurface drip tape injection.
The following chart demonstrates that tomato
transplants treated with MycoApply EndoMaxx
yielded 11% more marketable fruit when applied at
planting in the transplant water and 36% more from a
subsurface drip tape injection.

In a commercial grower trial of celery, use of MycoApply
EndoMaxx as a transplant tray drench resulted in taller
plants with larger stalk diameters and increased trimmed
stalk weight versus the untreated control.

Drought Tolerance and Nutrient Uptake
MycoApply EndoMaxx contains four species of mycorrhizal
fungi that colonize a plant’s root system through a network
of hyphae. After applying, the hyphae penetrate soil spaces
to access and store water that is unavailable to the thicker
root hairs, building up the plant’s drought tolerance.
In addition, MycoApply EndoMaxx hyphae act as a network
of microscopic structures that can access nutrients from
the soil that the root system typically can’t reach, such as
phosphorus, nitrogen and other available micronutrients.
Growers should incorporate MycoApply EndoMaxx early
in the plant’s development to allow enough time for
colonization to occur and to maximize the full benefits
of the preferred application method — whether it be
pre-plant tray drench, in at-plant transplant water or via
subsurface drip tape injection.
“MycoApply EndoMaxx is a proven, sustainable tool
for growers looking to maximize their production,” said
Martin. “By enhancing the plant’s health belowground,
MycoApply EndoMaxx improves the performance of
transplants and subsequently allows growers to achieve
better crop performance and quality aboveground.”
