Publisher Summary Mycorrhizas are symbiotic associations established between thousands
of species of soil-borne fungi and the roots of most terrestrial plant species. This chapter …

Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi [AMF] are soil fungi which form a mutualistic symbiosis with the
roots of plants. A variety of benefits to the host have been ascribed to mycorrhizae, most …

A brief introduction concerning the beneficial effects of mycorrhizas on plant growth and
development is followed by a review of the methods used for inoculum production and …

The significance of mycorrhizas in sustainable agriculture was highlighted several years ago
