About the Book
The book provides an insight into the usage
of mycorrhizal technology in different fruit
crops in the world, its benefits in nutrient
cycling/management and in biotic and abiotic
stress management and the prospects of its
application in nurseries and field crop. It provides
information on how in horticulture practices it is important to select
a functionally compatible host/fungus/substrate combination for
the fruit crop-AMF symbiosis to be successful, and how an early
establishment of the AMF status, after sowing or transplanting is
a key factor to improve plant performance.
