Coffee production has decreased due to environmental and management factors. The current plantations are old unproductive, also the rust problem, caused by fungus Hemileia vastatrix Berk & Br. Furthermore, shade in systems with consequent increase soil erosion, addition agrochemicals. Currently, planting of new varieties resistance is increasing. it been shown that various biofertilized perenni...

The behaviour of tomato plants inoculated with arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi grown in the presence of aqueous extracts from dry olive residue (ADOR) was studied in order to understand how this symbiotic relationship helps plants to cope with oxidative stress caused by ADOR. The influence of AM symbiosis on plant growth and other physiological parameters was also studied. Tomato plants were ...

We investigated the effects on various crops of inoculation with species of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) in soils from different sources and selected AMF species suitable for domestic environment-friendly farming. Effects on plants varied with the AMF species used. In carrot, Scutellospora heterogama, Acaulospora longula, and Funneliformis mosseae had a positive effect on growth of the ho...

Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) confer positive and negative effects on many plants, but it is unclear whether AMF has an effect soil fertility, aggregate distribution, stability. The aim of this study was to analyze the Rhizoglomus intraradices plant growth, root morphology, leaf chlorophyll gas exchange, sugar concentrations, nutrients, stability in marigold (Tagetes erecta L.), maize (Zea...

Abstract Lisianthus (Eustoma grandiflorum) is an ornamental species used as a potted plant or cut flower, its popularity due to the diversity of colors, number flower buds, and shelf life. Nevertheless, during first phases development, problems such foliar chlorosis root diseases affects most cultivars, causing poor growth, thin stems, few flowers. The use growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) ...

Background: Catalpa bungei is a well-known, valuable, ornamental, high-quality timber tree traditionally cultivated in China because of its excellent quality, decay resistance, wide applicability, and attractive form. The aim this study was to evaluate the effects inoculation with arbuscular mycorrhizal fungus (AMF) on transplant survival rate growth C. seedlings under greenhouse conditions. Me...

We propose that mycorrhizal colonization of roots alters nonhydraulic root to shoot communication of soil drying. Split-root rose (Rosa hybrida L. cv Samantha) plants-one side of the root system colonized by Glomus intraradices Schenck & Smith, the other side nonmycorrhizal-displayed different stomatal conductances upon partial drying, depending upon whether mycorrhizal or nonmycorrhizal roots ...
