Abstract
Disclosed herein are methods of growing a plant, comprising applying to the plant and/or growth medium (a)an effective amount of a composition comprising one or more mycorrhizal fungi and/or one or more mycorrhiza helper bacteria (MHB)[A1] and (b) an effective amount of a composition comprising one or more gibberellins, one or more auxins, salicylic acid, and/or one or more jasmonates. Also disclosed herein are mixtures and uses of the compositions. The compositions can improve crop yield of plants and boost microbial activity in the soil.

A method of growing a plant, comprising applying to the plant and/or growth medium for the plant (a) an effective amount of a composition comprising one or more mycorrhizal fungi and/or one or more mycorrhiza helper bacteria (MHB) and (b) an effective amount of a composition comprising one or more gibberellins, one or more auxins, salicylic acid, and/or one or more jasmonates.
A method of growing a plant, comprising
- (a) providing an algae culture and air to an algae culture broth composition producing system, the system comprising:
- a sterilizer;
- an automatic carbon dioxide supply device to promote photosynthesis;
- an at least partially or fully sealed vertical photobioreactor configured to contain a culture medium inoculated with an algae, the vertical photobioreactor being configured to allow light into the culture medium, at least partially block out pollutants and increase dissolved carbon dioxide and oxygen concentration;
- and
- a high-efficiency harvesting device using hollow fiber membranes;
- (b) harvesting the composition;
- (c) applying an effective amount of the composition to the plant and/or the growth medium;
- and
- (d) apply an effective amount of a composition comprising one or more mycorrhizal fungi and/or one or more mycorrhiza helper bacteria (MHB).
A mixture comprising (a) a composition comprising one or more mycorrhizal fungi and/or one or more mycorrhiza helper bacteria (MHB) and (b) a composition comprising one or more gibberellins, one or more auxins, salicylic acid, and/or one or more jasmonates.
The use of one or more compositions for growing a plant, comprising:
- (a) an effective amount of a composition comprising one or more mycorrhizal fungi and/or one or more mycorrhiza helper bacteria (MHB) and
- (b) an effective amount of a composition one or more gibberellins;
- one or more auxins;
- salicylic acid;
- and/or one or more jasmonates.
