| In the fall of 1998,
we treated a Maple tree with BioVam Mycorrhiza. We poked
holes 10"
into the ground every 8" around the drip
line of a mature Maple tree and put 1 teaspoon of BioVam in each hole and
then covered the hole with soil. There was another Maple tree 50 feet
away which was not treated. Both trees have had a five year history
of requiring an annual systemic pesticide application to control Aphids.
By the end of Spring 1999, we have noticed a number of positive results
to treating a mature Maple tree with BioVam.
Objectives:
Apply BioVam Mycorrhiza into holes poked into the ground in the drip line
of a mature Maple tree. Observe growth differences between treated
and untreated trees. Observe the effect on Aphid infestations.
Observe differences in leaves, seeds, stem cross sections, and drying times
when detached from the plant.
Observation summary:
The leaves, seeds, and stem growth sizes are larger in the treated plant.
There are more xylem vessels in the treated plant which hold more sap from
the roots and make the plant much more resistant to drought conditions.
The treated plant had a five year history of Aphid infestation and was not
infested by Aphids as of 6/5/99. BioVam increased the health of the
treated plant sufficiently enough so that Aphids would leave the plant alone,
while the untreated plant, 50 feet away, was infested with Aphids and had
to be treated with a systemic to control the Aphids.

| Cross section taken
from the untreated tree stem shows sparse xylem vessels in the cambium
layer just under the bark layers. |
Cross section taken
from the treated tree stem shows higher numbers of xylem vessels
in the cambium layer just under the bark layers. More xylem
vessels means more water is in the plant and explains why after
two days, the above leaves are not drying out. |

The picture to the
left shows two maple leaves. The leaf on the right is from
our untreated Maple tree and shows the drippings from Aphids that
have infested the tree. The leaf on the left is from our BioVam
treated Maple tree and shows no sign of Aphid drippings. This
is one of the benefits of using BioVam on Maple trees that we were
hoping to demonstrate. This picture was taken on 6-19-99. |
