Other claims from this paper (10)
- Observation Few AM fungus spores occurred in vegetable rhizosphere soil.
- Observation Three genera and 14 AM fungal species were isolated.
- Observation Glomus and Acaulospora had high frequency and relative abundance across soil samples.
- Observation A. denticulata and G. clarum were dominant, with A. denticulata having the highest frequency and relative abundance.
- Association AM fungal colonization percentage in tomato decreased with replant years.
- Association AM fungal spore number in snapbean rhizospheres decreased with replant years.
- Association AM fungal colonization percentage in snapbean decreased with replant years.
- Association Tomato rhizospheres had higher AM fungal spore numbers than snapbean at the same replant age.
- Association Tomato had lower AM fungal colonization than snapbean at the same replant age.
- Mechanism The authors suggest long term chemical fertilizers, pesticides, and growth regulators inhibit AM fungi.
