SUSTAINING THE WORLD

Board Member and CEO, Dozie Mbonu and  Chief Science Officer and published botanist, Dr. Carol A. Janerette,  are the Co-founders of Janerette's Eco-Friendly Fungi.  Dr. Janerette's work began with mycorrhizae in 1975.  She envisioned growing super-sized food crops and trees in a shorter time period, re-establishing forests in strip-mined regions and envisioned reclaiming the barren lands of East Africa and other places around the world.  Focusing her work on these objectives, and with the assistance of Chimdi Mbonu, she was able to develop the world's first inoculum from ectomycorrhizal fungi forming endomycorrhizal infection with herbaceous plants which serves as the basis for all of our inoculants.  This innovative invention was patented (financed by Dr. Faith M.  Janerette Mbonu) in the United States and fifteen ( 15 ) other countries and contains a trade secret which no other entity worldwide has been able to duplicate.

 

This innovative eco-friendly discovery has many benefits:

• increases nutrient (including minerals such as phosphorus) and water absorption

• increases root health and longevity

• increases tolerance to high soil temperatures

• increases tolerance to toxic heavy metals

• increases tolerance to extremes in pH and transplant shock

 

Janerette's inoculants also have several distinct advantages over other mycorrhizal products:

• derived from ectomycorrhizae, but it forms endomycorrhizal infection with herbaceous plants; allowing virtually all of the world's land plants to benefit from mycorrhizal technology

• produces crops in drought conditions

• reclaims unresponsive soils--grows crops in deficient soil and even grows crops in sand

• minimize or even eradicate fertilizer requirement and run-off contamination

• reduces pathogens and disease

 

Although our inoculants deliver all of these remarkable benefits, there are two other distinct benefits that seem to overshadow:

 

• extended shelf life

• increased crop yield

​

Our inoculants use resting structures of ectomycorrhizal fungi to extend shelf life.  Conclusive research has shown our inoculants continue to be viable 10-years after manufacture.  The 10-year old inoculant even outperforms newly manufactured inoculant when used on specific plants.

 

Janerette's inoculants were designed to provide an eco-friendly way to increase crop yield over traditional methods.

Conclusive research shows that plants integrated with Janerette's fungal inoculants produce 40 to 65 percent more volume. Results can be much higher depending on the plant type.
