Other claims from this paper (8)
- Observation Both winter cereal cover crops were colonized by soil AMF.
- Association Environmental conditions affected cover crop mycorrhizal colonization intensity.
- Intervention effect Cover crops reduced weed density.
- Mechanism Cover crops benefited from mycorrhizal colonization and promoted extraradical mycelium.
- Intervention effect Some non-host weed species had increased mycorrhizal colonization in the presence of cover crops.
- Observation Under intense rainfall, MA% was less sensitive to cover crop introduction.
- Intervention effect Under high competition, both cover crops significantly boosted mycorrhization of coexisting plants.
- Method / resource The proposed indicator measured cover crop effects on overall AMF colonization.
