Xtreme Gardening Mykos WP | 2.2lb - Wettable Powder - (Case of 6)

Wettable Powder Mycorrhizal Root Inoculant, 2.2lb

A plant's own root system can only reach so far into the surrounding growing medium, which limits how much of the available water and nutrients it actually contacts. Xtreme Gardening Mykos WP introduces Rhizophagus intraradices, an arbuscular mycorrhizal fungus, in a wettable powder that mixes into a sprayer or drench solution and colonizes the root system, effectively extending its reach into the surrounding medium.

This 2.2lb size suits growers running multiple beds or rooms who want enough powder on hand for repeated drench applications.

Key Features & Benefits

• Rhizophagus intraradices strain — a single, pure arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi source.
• Wettable powder formula — mixes into a sprayer or drench solution rather than requiring dry soil incorporation.
• Extends root system reach — the fungal network functions as an extension of the root system, reaching water and nutrients roots alone can't.
• Single-strain formula — does not contain other added microbes such as Trichoderma or ectomycorrhizae.

Who Should Use Mykos WP

Growers who want to apply mycorrhizal fungi through a sprayer or drench system, rather than mixing a granular product into dry media at transplant, are the best fit for the wettable powder format. It suits both first-time mycorrhizal users and growers standardizing on a single-strain product.

About Xtreme Gardening

Xtreme Gardening's Mykos line is built around Rhizophagus intraradices (formerly Glomus intraradices), sold in both granular and wettable powder formats. The company cultivates and packages its product lines in California and distributes through several hundred garden supply dealers.

Frequently Asked Questions

What strain does Mykos WP contain?

It contains Rhizophagus intraradices, formerly classified as Glomus intraradices, a single strain of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi. The formula does not include other microbes such as Trichoderma or ectomycorrhizae.

How is Mykos WP applied?

Mix the wettable powder into water and apply as a drench or through a sprayer so the fungal spores reach the root zone directly. It can also be applied at transplant by mixing the solution into the planting hole.

Why choose a wettable powder over the granular version?

A wettable powder mixes into an existing spray or drench routine, which suits growers who prefer liquid application over working a granular product into dry media by hand. Both formats deliver the same Rhizophagus intraradices strain, so the choice comes down to preferred application method.

What does the fungus actually do for the plant?

Rhizophagus intraradices forms a symbiotic relationship with plant roots, extending a network of fine fungal filaments into the surrounding growing medium. This effectively increases the root system's reach for water and nutrient uptake beyond what the roots alone could access.

Is Mykos WP a single-strain product?

Yes, it contains only Rhizophagus intraradices with no other added microbes. Growers who want to combine it with a separate bacterial inoculant, such as Azos, can layer the two products rather than relying on a pre-blended multi-strain formula.
