‘A dating service for plants and microbes’
A ‘dating service for plants and microbes’ is how Peter Orrell, founder of MycoNourish, describes his company.
It is creating customised strains of mycorrhizal fungi that are tailored to suit specific crops. Its initial focus is on optimising the performance of strawberry and tomato plants by influencing specific growth traits, helping to maximise crop quality and reduce wastage.
