Biological control of plant pathogens is currently accepted as a key practice in sustainable
agriculture because it is based on the management of a natural resource, ie certain …

Arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi and bacteria can interact synergistically to stimulate plant
growth through a range of mechanisms that include improved nutrient acquisition and …

Conservation agriculture practices, such as reduced tillage, cover crops and fertilization, are
often associated with greater microbial biomass and activity that are linked to improvements …

Colonization of the land by plants some 400 million years ago was associated with the
colonization of their primitive roots by soil-borne filamentous fungi (Nicolson, 1975; Simon et …

Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi are key components of soil microbiota and obviously interact
with other microorganisms in the rhizosphere, ie the zone of influence of plant roots on …

Mycorrhiza are symbiotic associations between plant roots and certain soil fungi which play
a key role in nutrient cycling in the ecosystem and also protect plants against environmental …

summary The effect of the extraradical mycelium of the arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungus
