Treated with Azos now what?

Chrissykin · May 3, 2013

Yesterday I did an Azos treatment on all my babies. Now do I wait until I transplant them to give them the soil drench with the Great White, Biota Max, Actinovate trio? Or am I missing something?

Good question, and I think you'll get different strategies here.
The way I do it is I start inoculating with mycorrhizae at potting up since it takes a few weeks for the root association to take effect. So when it's transplanting time, I'd hope to already have mycorrhizae colonizing the roots. I'll also reinforce with a root dip containing mycorrhizae at transplanting. Great White has mycorrhizae plus beneficial bacteria and trichoderma fungi, so you could start with a drench now and then the full root dip later at transplant with Great White, BiotaMax, Actinovate and more AZOS.
That's just my strategy, but I don't think there is any wrong way to do it otherwise.

Azos (Azospirillum Brasilense) is a helper bacteria and in doing so does increase nitrogen uptake of the plant. Definitely either do a root dip or drench the plants on plant out. Ami
