Mycorrhizal colonization of major banana genotypes in six East African environments

2012-08-01

Abstract excerpt

In the densely populated East African highlands (EAH), banana is a major staple food. In the last decade, serious yield declines were observed caused by soil fertility depletion and increased pressure of pests and diseases. Arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi form symbiosis with plant roots improving nutrients and water absorption, and protecting plants against a number of biotic (e.g. root pathogens) and abiotic (e...
