Abstract The conditions experienced by one plant generation can influence the growth of offspring generation. These maternal effects reduce performance foliar-feeding insects, through accumulation defences. Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) inhabit roots plants and are known to insects. However, all published studies interactions between insects AMF have taken place within generation, but none...

in order to investigate the response of mycorrhizal fungi to different kinds of fungicides and phytohormone balance in soybean, the present study was carried out during 2008-2009 at research site of azad university of karaj branch as factorial based on randomized complete block design with two factors and four replications. treatments were all combination of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi species...

Long-term effects of organic and conventional farming systems in parallel on the microbiota boreal arable soil from forage cereal crop fields were investigated. Microbial activity was measured as basal respiration microbial biomass C N determined by fumigation extraction. abundance gene copy numbers bacterial archaeal specific 16S rRNA genes fungal ITS2 region with quantitative PCR. community c...

this study was conducted to determine soil properties that correlate with the arbuscular mycorrhizal fungal (amf) spore numbers in semiarid calcareous soils of hamadan province in northwestern of iran. soil samples from six sites managed differently were collected from a 0 to 30 cm depth. the results showed that land use and management systems had a significant effect on amf spore number in soi...

Two experiments were conducted to evaluate different compost mixtures as peat substitutes, and the effect of Trichoderma and mycorrhiza fungi application on transplants quality. Seeds of commercial lettuce (Lactim sativa L.) and cabbage (Brassica oleracea), a nonmycotrophic plant were sown in 'Speedling' trays. Plant growth response was determined in four weeks old seedlings (commercial transpl...

Vetiver (Vetiveria zizanioides L.) is a plant that produces essential oils. The use of mycorrhiza and P fertilizer on vetiver plants can support growth increase root crop production. However, the exact dose not yet known to production plants. For this reason, fertilization treatment was carried out see which doses could be associated with Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi (AMF) help This study used ...

Background: Optimum plant nutrition with various organic and inorganic fertilizers such as synthetic fertilizer, compost, mycorrhiza bacterial isolations have a pivotal role in agricultural production. This study was laid out to observe the combined impact of vermicompost treatments on growth nutrient uptake cowpea. Methods: The experiment under controlled greenhouse conditions at Tokat Gaziosm...
