Boost the strength, resilience, and long-term success of your plants with Big Foot ECTO-Mycorrhizae, a professional-grade fungal inoculant trusted by growers, landscapers, and serious gardeners. Specially formulated for trees, conifers, and woody ornamentals, this powerful blend helps establish thriving root systems that can withstand stress and perform at their best for years to come.
Ectomycorrhizal fungi form a natural symbiotic partnership with a plant’s root system. Instead of competing, they extend the root’s reach with a fine, web-like network of fungal threads that increase the surface area for water and nutrient absorption. The result is a plant that takes in more phosphorus, nitrogen, and vital micronutrients—without the need for excessive fertilizers. In return, the fungi receive sugar compounds the plant produces through photosynthesis, creating a balanced and sustainable cycle beneath the soil.
With Big Foot ECTO-Mycorrhizae, you’re not just planting—you’re investing in healthier, deeper root development, improved transplant survival rates, and long-lasting plant vitality. Professional landscapers rely on it when installing new trees because it significantly reduces stress shock during establishment. Home gardeners appreciate it for the visible improvement in plant vigor and drought resistance, even seasons after application.
