Other claims from this paper (5)
- Observation Roots in every surveyed almond orchard had AMF colonisation, averaging 64.4%.
- Association Organically managed orchards had 73.2% AMF root colonisation versus 62.1% in conventionally managed orchards.
- Association The higher AMF colonisation under organic management was primarily associated with soil vegetative cover.
- Association Rootstock choice had only marginal effects on AMF root colonisation.
- Intervention effect Fumigation had only marginal effects on AMF root colonisation.
