Service
Investigation of RootsWe offer microscopical investigation of roots if you want to know, if the mycorrhizal fungi built a symbiosis with your plants. This service is free of charge for 1-3 samples.
To take a sample:
Dig a small hole beside the plant and take a few roots carefully
(not too many in order not to damage the plant). For our investigation
we need roots as fine as possible of a minimum length of 5 cm. You
should collect 10 pieces of roots. Wrap the roots in a damp paper towel
and seal it in a plastic bag.
Please print the following questionnaire, fill it in and then send it together with the sample to us as soon as possible.
We offer sieve analyses of your soil if you want to know if mycorrhiza fungi exist in your garden. This service is free of charge for our customers for 1-3 samples. For more samples please contact us for fees.
To take a sample:
Dig a hole with a spade 5-10 cm deep and take 100 ml soil from the
hole (one cup). Repeat this 10 to 15 times on different places in the
garden. Mix the samples carefully. Put 500 ml of this mixed sample in a
plastic bag which you
close and send to us.
