Inoculation with Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi or Crop Rotation with Mycorrhizal Plants Improves the Growth of Maize in Limed Acid Sulfate Soil
Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) improve the uptake of immobile mineral nutrients such as phosphate, thereby improving plant growth. In acid sulfate soil (ASS), AMF spore density is generally low which impacts root colonization and phosphate uptake. Thus, inoculation may help increase AMF coloniza...
