Fall cover cropping can increase arbuscular mycorrhizae in soils supporting intensive agricultural production

2012-10-01

Abstract excerpt

Intensive agricultural practices, such as tillage, monocropping, seasonal fallow periods, and inorganic nutrient application have been shown to reduce arbuscular mycorrrhizal fungi (AMF) populations and thus may reduce benefits frequently provided to crops by AMF, such as nutrient acquisition, disease resistance and drought tolerance. We have evaluated the ability of different cover crops to elevate the native myc...
