- Intervention effect Inoculated sweet corn root dry weight was 500 mg versus 320 mg in controls, over 50% higher.
- Intervention effect Inoculation more than doubled soil exploration by roots, from 31% to 70%.
- Observation Disease occurrence did not explain the root performance difference.
- Observation The greatest treatment differences occurred in steam-sterilized soil.
- Association Trichoderma colonization of roots varied with root age.
- Observation The oldest radicle region carried 10 6 cfu/g root DW of Trichoderma.
- Observation Branched seminal roots carried 10 5.5 cfu/g of Trichoderma.
- Intervention effect Colonized roots acidified about 0.1 pH units more than controls.
- Intervention effect Colonized roots leaked about 25% fewer ions into distilled water.
