Pépinières Guillaume have been engaged in specific research programmes on mycorhizes fungus since 1996.
Our expertise enables us to select inoculum strains providing survivability and efficiency in the grape vine plant, qualitites that have been proved on in the medium and long run.
Mycorhization is a natural process, a symbiosis interaction between the mycorhize fungus present in the soil and the grapevine. The fungus thrives off the sugars produced by the plant and in exchange helps the rapid absorption of low mobility nutrients and water by the vine.
Our research has proved that microscopic fungus improves the development of the vine root through symbiotic action : the plant absorbs nutrients more easily, strengthening the plant root and increasing its defence mechanism against root pathogens.
