Agriculture / coffee growing
Spanish term or phrase: micorisas
Se utilizan micorisas del género etno-micorisas y endo-micirisas. Las Etno-micirisas son las que mineralizan los elementos orgánicos del suelo y los entregan a las Endo-micorisas, las mismas que al estar dentro de la raíz suben hasta toda la parte aérea de la planta y así transportan una mayor cantidad de elementos nutrientes necesarios para el desarrollo de la planta y consecuentemente la calidad de sus frutos.

Esto es que convierte al café en grano en un producto puramente orgánico, porque cualquier elemento químico bloquearías esta simbiosis exterminando o eliminando el rol de las micorisas.

Micorisas con microfauna del suelo mas microflora del suelo mas biomasa ( Kompost ) son suficientemente los abonos naturales indispensables balanceados para un arbusto de café.

I've been able to locate "micorrisas" with double r, to mean some special fungi ... is that what it is, and is there a specific term for it??

mycorrhiza (Pl.: mycorrhizae or mycorrhizas)
Explanation:
A mycorrhiza (Greek for fungus roots coined by Frank, 1885[1]; typically seen in the plural forms mycorrhizae or mycorrhizas) is a symbiotic (occasionally weakly pathogenic) association between a fungus and the roots of a plant.[2] In a mycorrhizal association, the fungus may colonize the roots of a host plant, either intracellularly or extracellularly. They are an important part of soil life.
