Rhizophagy question?

[nao57]

I don't think very many people have posted about Rhizophagy in garden plants here. But just in case someone here may be aware of this I wanted to post about the question I had about it here. Also I will post a link. Thank you ahead of time. And happy gardening!

How stable is the rhizophagy process if using compost teas to produce food you will eat without something negative being passed to humans? I also wanted to ask, if the roots have polysaccarides which are sugar lures to the bacteria going into the plant, then will sugar present in compost teas to grow that bacteria disturb the natural process of going in if that sugar isn't eaten up completely before the compost tea etc is applied? ( I ask this because many compost tea strategies such as with KNF and others emphasize using sugar to grow the decomposing bacteria in a solution before it is fed to the plants. )

Note; I have no connection to the video link above other than my own trying to learn from others. I am not the owner of that channel but thought posting it may help some people here.

Thank you very much!

As noted before, garden soil is swimming in bacteria. Don't need compost tea to be at fault in producing soil bacteria. That being the case, if there were any soil bacteria that was going to negatively pass to humans through plants, we'd all be sick. That said, there are people who have geophagia, which is the practice of eating dirt. Many think it's healthy, though there are some parasites that can cause stomach upset. Those parasites don't make it into plants.
