Tools Towards Managing Mycorrhiza for Sustainable Agriculture
The arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi, in concert with other soil dwelling microorganisms such as the so-called “plant growth promoting rhizobacteria”, play a pivotal role for natural soil fertility and stability, hence, for sustainable crop production. Appropriate management of the AM fungal community is crucial, especially in the tropics where the cultivated soils are notoriously fragile and ...
متن کاملSustainable Agriculture, Soil Health, and Soil Organic Matter
The latter two principles protect the soil resource on which all food and fibre production ultimately depends. However, agricultural production systems differ from ‘natural’ or undeveloped systems in that they can be considered to be ‘leaky’ with respect to nutrients. This is inevitable, due to nutrient removal in harvested product, but inappropriate fertiliser management can exacerbate the ‘le...
متن کاملTowards Sustainable Agriculture: Challenges and Opportunities
The environmental impact of agriculture cannot be ignored. In many countries, as much as 70 per cent of the land area is in agricultural use. Over a third of the global agricultural land area is in high-intensity, continuous cropping systems that use high levels of agrochemicals and reshape land and waterways. The rest is under such a farming system that uses far fewer inputs, but requires rela...

متن کاملBeneficial Soil Microorganisms: A Key for Sustainable Agriculture
Microorganisms play a major role in the plant-soil relationship, particularly in the rhizosphere, i.e. the interface between root and soil. Rhizosphere is strongly influenced by the root, through its productions (rhizodeposition) and its respiration, as well as uptake of ions and minerals. In this environment, plant beneficial microorganisms are of peculiar importance: they stimulate plant grow...
