Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi in Fruit Crop Production

Meer over het boek

Focusing on mycorrhizal technology, the book explores its application in fruit crops worldwide, emphasizing its role in nutrient cycling and stress management. It highlights the importance of selecting compatible host-fungus combinations for successful AMF symbiosis and the benefits of early AMF establishment post-sowing or transplanting. The text suggests that AMF technology is particularly advantageous for crops that undergo transplanting and discusses the potential of AMF-rhizobacteria interactions. Additionally, it addresses the need for improved inoculum production techniques in commercial horticulture, as AMF inocula remain less accessible than other microbial cultures.
