Hi all. I would be very appreciative if I can get help in relation to orchids that have been germinated asymbiotically and then introducing the mycorrhizal fungi to the orchid when deflasking the seedlings. Is anybody aware of any research that has been undertaken or other evidence of the success or otherwise of these strategies. The orchids I am working with are temperate terrestrial orchids that germinate readily and grow well in the flask. But need the appropriate fungi for post flask life. They can be germinated and grown symbiotically but there are significant challenges in maintaining the correct nutrient balance within the flasks so that the fungi do not consume the orchid seedlings.
Thankyou for any advice or direction towards published research that can be forwarded. Dick Thomson, Melbourne, Australia
