Opportunities from Down Under: How Mycorrhizal Fungi Can Benefit Nursery Propagation and Production Systems©

speaking, do not have roots, rather they form mycorrhiza. There are seven principle types of mycorrhiza. The two most important mycorrhizas are the endomycorrhiza and ectomycorrhiza. Endomycorrhiza typically colonize herbaceous plants, shrubs, many ornamental, fruit and nut trees, vegetables and agronomic crops, and turf grasses. More than 85% of higher plants form endomycorrhizal associations. The ecotomycorrhiza form associations with conifers, pines, and hardwoods such as ! " around 10% of higher plants. Some plants, such as eucalyptus will form both endoand ectomycorrhizal associations.
