The Agricultural Benefits of AMF

AMF and biostimulants

Suppliers often market AMF as a magic shortcut to higher crop yields. While this natural partnership can visibly boost certain plants (like the cowpea on the image), it’s no silver bullet. Yield benefits are highly situational and depend entirely on the specific plant and fungal species match-up, and on your soil conditions. Best practice is always to test your soil’s native fungal community first. If your soil biology is already healthy and active, commercial biostimulants may be wasting time and money on benefits your field is already providing for free.
