Other claims from this paper (13)
- Intervention effect Soils with intensive pesticide history produced less plant biomass than organic soils.
- Intervention effect Soils with intensive pesticide history had lower AMF root colonization than organic soils.
- Intervention effect Fresh pesticide application temporarily reduced AMF root colonization.
- Intervention effect Plant biomass was reduced after fresh pesticide application.
- Association Neither AMF nor rhizobia showed increased pesticide tolerance in soils with intensive use history.
- Observation Pesticide dissipation was not accelerated in soils with intensive pesticide use history.
- Intervention effect AMF inoculation increased plant biomass.
- Intervention effect AMF inoculation increased AMF root colonization.
- Intervention effect AMF inoculation increased nitrogen fixation.
- Association The inoculated Rhizoglomus irregulare strain established better where natural AMF abundance and plant biomass were low.
- Observation Inoculated Rhizoglomus irregulare mostly replaced other Rhizoglomus strains.
- Recommendation The authors recommend reducing pesticide exposure.
- Recommendation The authors suggest AMF inoculation to mitigate pesticide effects and restore soil functioning.
