I just would like to know if you have the idea as to the shelf life of Novozymes' VAM Fungi. Like Rhyzomix (endo ROOTS soluble) in sachets. From the date they were produced up how long can they still be viable as inoculants to host crops. INVAM said ideally they should be stored at around 4 degrees centigrade and most VAM Fungi species are viable only for less than six (6) months from production date. I was told that Novozymes VAM Fungi can be viable up to five (5) years from production date when stored at not more than 45 degrees centigrade temperature. Please do reply to me your valuable answer through my email ad: joshua@[email protected] Thanks a lot!
