    This video is amazing! I've never heard the symbiotic relationship of plant roots, rhizobacteria, and mycorrhizae described so wonderfully. And the video graphics are mind blowing!! Well done PHC!
  • Beautiful explanation! I have been experiencing this magic in my permaculture yard through trial and error. Everything in this video is what I have discovered that has allowed me to turn a desert backyard into a tropical paradise.
  • A truly valuable lesson. Not of gardening, agriculture or biology. It’s a lesson of life.

    So absolutely true. This is why we grow organically. Always have, always will.

    Damn. I just got a bit of education. Also, an explanation why my grandfather never used fertilizer or lime but had super healthy plants year after year.

    Absolutely incredible video man ... this should be shown to kids in schools, so that everyone can have a better understanding of how life works.

    Really, it is saprophytic fungi that are the true soil improvers, they initially break dead matter down into the constituent parts usable by bacteria and mycorrhizal fungi. That said, the whole cycle is dependent upon each contributing part, whether its plant roots, mycorrhizae, actinomycetes, saprophytic fungi or small invertebrates, each plays a part in the natural system.
  • More and more people need to watch this as we in a time where plummeting soil health Cannot be ignored any further if ignored, it not going to end up good for anybody on this planet. The film is very engaging and I love how the beautiful symbiotic relations present in nature are shown.

    Very clearly and elegantly presented. I know more now. Thank you for taking the time.
  • @edialbert8035
    Thank you for this beautiful visual illustration of soil biology and diversity! Great job 👍
  • Wonderful film! Very informative. I loved the visuals of the bacteria and fungi. I now better understand this relationship. Thank you for sharing

    How come 41 persons disliked 😔😳. The origin of all life come from plants... Plants cant thrive without living soil... Lets restore earth soil 🙌
  • @KhetiKaDoctorSunil
    Excellent. I made many advisories on this topic but very few people interested in this.
  • Never understood the relationship between plants and microorganisms to this depth. Thank you very much

    I just randomly clicked on this as i was browsing plant videos. Ive been into bonsai as a hobby for several years. The person who taught me about it always said if you find white fungal threads on the bottom and sides of your root ball when you repot, then you know you have a healthy tree and have been doing your job properly. Now I understand why. Thanks!

    20 years after graduating from agricultural school, just understood the role of mycorrhiza, bacteria and fungi in the process of absorbing water and nutrients needed by plants. Tks.
  • As a researcher I could not ask more .. beautifully shown
