Other claims from this paper (6)
- Intervention effect Mycorrhizal onion plants outweighed nonmycorrhizal controls across soil salinity levels of 1 to 12 mmho/cm.
- Intervention effect Mycorrhizal bell pepper plants outweighed nonmycorrhizal controls across soil salinity levels of 1 to 12 mmho/cm.
- Intervention effect In onion and bell pepper, plants inoculated with Gl. fasciculatus grew larger than those inoculated with Gi. margarita.
- Intervention effect Under salinity, percent fresh weight decreased most in nonmycorrhizal bell pepper controls.
- Intervention effect In bell pepper, salinity-related decreases in percent fresh weight were smaller in plants infected by Gl. fasciculatus than in those infected by Gi. margarita.
- Intervention effect Plants infected with mycorrhizal fungi may be more salt tolerant than uninfected nonmycorrhizal plants.
