<p>This invention relates to a method of preparing a growth substrate for use in plant inoculation generally including the steps of obtaining a viable source of microorganism; growing the microorganism in proximity to one or more propagative host plant root systems so as to encourage development of a symbiotic association between said microorganism and said propagative host plant root systems; supporting the microorganism and the propagative host plant root systems in a support medium being a suitable zeolite such as capezeo; allowing the microorgansim to sporulate; terminating the growth of the propagative host plant root systems; allowing the microorganism to enter a state of dormancy in response to the termination of growth of the propagative host plant root systems; ans separating the microorganism, associated propagative host plant root systems and support medium from the remainder of the propagative host plant.</p> |
