Other claims from this paper (7)
- Intervention effect Most inoculated crop and pasture species had increased shoot contents of nutrients.
- Intervention effect Plant-available P in soil was significantly higher in inoculated treatments than in non-inoculated controls across all plant species.
- Intervention effect Plant utilization efficiency of P (PUpE) was enhanced in most inoculated species.
- Intervention effect PUpE gain in wheat was 122% relative to the control under inoculation.
- Intervention effect PUpE gain in maize was 65% relative to the control under inoculation.
- Observation Austroboletus occidentalis formed effective symbiosis with a wide range of crops and pastures.
- Recommendation The feremycorrhizal symbiosis is a novel approach for sustainable P management in cropping and pasture systems.
