Growing Raspberries
with
|
|
|
After 5 weeks of weather that was cold and
rainy and 65º F and less, 15 inches of new growth (circled in red on the
picture to the left) was observed in the limbs of several plants in the
test group. (Treated Plant on Left)
|
|
The control group had only 2-3 inches of new growth and was basically dormant.
(Untreated Plant on Right)
|
|
|
|
The test group showed 4-5 times the root
volume. 8 new shoots were observed in the test group and no new shoots were
observed in the control group.
(Treated Plants on top, Untreated on Bottom)
|
| This plant (on right) was dug up on June
20, 1998 - 8 weeks after being inoculated with BioVam®. Most of the fine
hyphe hairs stayed in the ground. An 18" root ball on a Raspberry plant
that also had a two foot high new shoot reflects the growth typical among
most of our test group plants. (Treated Plant on Right)
|
|
 |
These are clusters of green berries on the
test plants which were inoculated with BioVam. When they ripened,
they went into Jam, on cereal in the mornings, on Ice-cream in the evening,
and a lot of them never made it into the berry baskets. The thumb
sized red berries never seemed to be around long enough for me to photograph... (Treated Plants on Right)

The following pictures are of the new shoots for next year. |
|
|
|
The new shoots this year are next years canes. Typically, the new shoots will be larger next year than what is shown in this picture on the left taken July 25, 1998. These new shoots are the best looking plants we have ever had in our Raspberries. Inoculating these plants with BioVam® made the difference. Look for more pictures next year when these plants are fully established with BioVam®'s Mycorrhizae. (Treated Plants on Left) |

As of August 2, 1998 the new shoots for next year are doing great! (Treated plants above) |

The above picture was taken August 8, 1998. (Treated Plants Above) |

Now let's look at the Test and Control groups as of 9-4-98. |
|
|
|
This control group is pathetic looking.
We started with 97 shoots and now have 57 shoots in this control group.
I turned this group into another kind of test. After all the shoots were up for next years canes, I inoculated these canes with Mycorrhizae to see what they will look like next year. (Untreated Plants on Left) |
| We started with 223 shoots
in our test group and ended with 240 new shoots. All of these shoots
came up under the influence of the Mycorrhizae inoculant. We are excited
to see what these are going to do next year. Many leaves are as big
as my hand. The bugs have left these plants alone because they are
so healthy. And dandelions have not grown among these plants all year
long. (Treated Plants on Right) |

These Raspberry plants in
this picture 9-18-98 are reaching eight feet in height. We will cut
them back to 5 feet when they go dormant this fall. But if they grow
three feet in the spring.... I'm waiting to hear from some acedemic
agriculture experts as to how to care for these plants. My seven year
old son, Nick stands four feet high. The posts are five feet high
with two feet of rebar extending their height. (Treated Plants on Left) |
| This picture, taken 9-29-98,
shows Mycorrhiza Inoculated Raspberries on the left. On the right
are non-inoculated berries. Notice that cooler weather is having little
affect on the inoculated berry bushes while the others are dropping their
leaves already. Mycorrhiza isolates plants from environmental
extremes of cold, heat and drought conditions. (Treated Plants on Left, Untreated plants on Right) |

I have been around Raspberry plants for 45 years and have never seen such a good response in plant growth both above and below the ground. --Thomas Giannou |
