Opis

This book highlighted the VAM fungi are associated with improved growth of many plant species due to increased nutrients uptake, production of growth promoting substances, tolerance to drought and salinity and transplant shock and synergistic interaction with other beneficial microorganisms such as nitrogen fixers and phosphorus solubilizers. The major role of VAM fungi is to supply plant roots with phosphorus, because phosphorus is an extremely immobile element in soils, due to the fungal extraradical mycelium ability.
