Reflects the influence of plant root exudates and the selection of organisms with high growth rates
Mycorrhizae
mutualistic associations between fungi and plant roots fungi become integrated into the root structure
Mycorrhizal symbioses
Advantages:
Enhancing plant nutrient adsorption Reducing soil born diseases Improving plant water resistant
Mycorrhizal Fungi
Mycorrhizae
Tree root
Fungal hyphae
Mycorrhizal structure
Ectomycorrhizae
arbuscules = tree-like vesicles = intracellular fungal storage structures which are lipid containing bodies
Fertilizer Application : High P Crop Rotation : non-host plant species Tillage : reduced / no tillage practices Liming
