Microbes and mycorrhiza form symbiotic relationships with plant roots, helping them to take up nutrients such as nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium more efficiently. This can lead to healthier and more vigorous growth, as well as better resistance to stress and disease.

Microbes and mycorrhiza can help improve soil structure by creating channels and aggregates that allow for better water and air movement. This can improve drainage and reduce compaction, which can be especially important for golf greens that see heavy foot traffic.

Some types of microbes and mycorrhiza have been shown to help plants resist certain diseases by enhancing their natural defenses. This can reduce the need for chemical treatments and help maintain the overall health of the golf green.

Using microbes and mycorrhiza in golf greens can have environmental benefits by reducing the need for synthetic fertilizers and pesticides, which can have negative impacts on the surrounding ecosystem. It can also improve soil health and reduce erosion, which can benefit nearby waterways and wildlife.
