ABSTRACT The production of inoculum from arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) at a large scale and low cost is essential for establishing methods to assist in producing pineapple plantlets with high nutritional and phytosanitary quality. However, this objective is difficult to accomplish because of the biotrophic nature of these fungi. The on-farm multiplication method for AMF inoculum presents a good alternative to supply the demand for the production of glomerospores. This study aimed to multiply and evaluate AMF inoculum originating from […]
On-farm production of mycorrhizal inoculum using residues from the forestry industry
01/Dec/2014
Production of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) inoculum using the on-farm method is an alternative to stimulate the use of microbial inoculant in plant production systems and to reduce the cost associated with purchase of this product. The goal of this study was to evaluate the potential of residues from the forestry industry, pine bark (CP) and pulp sludge (LC), as components of the substrate used to produce on-farm mycorrhizal inoculum. Sorghum plants pre-colonized with the AMFs Claroideoglomus etunicatum RJN101A and […]
