Other claims from this paper (5)
- Intervention effect Low metal concentration did not affect AM colonization, which reached 77% with G. albida and half-dose Zn.
- Intervention effect High Ni and Cd concentrations reduced guar root colonization.
- Intervention effect High Ni and Cd concentrations reduced guar dry biomass.
- Intervention effect Mycorrhizal guar grew better but matched uninoculated non-contaminated controls under metal toxicity.
- Recommendation Authors suggest mycorrhizal fungi for extracting heavy metals from polluted soil.
