Hi All, 

I have been on a multiple year mission to grow saffron here in Western Oregon. I ran across this article some research I was doing:  Mychorrizae effects on saffron production   it shows a lot of benefits to adding arbuscular mychorrizae fungi to saffron. One of the most interesting takeaways was how it increased bulb offsetting. 

I have been a longtime fan of mychorrizae in soil mixes and even did quite a bit of experimenting with substituting it for rooting hormone in some difficult alpine plants with good success. 

I'm wondering if any of the growers on here have results from using mychorrizae they would like to share, I'm particularly interested in water soluble applications, as I have mostly done soil granular incorporations at this point.

Any genera it worked on, or didn't work on as well? 

Brands of choice? 

Other scholarly articles related to mychorrhizae and bulb production worth sharing?

All the best,
