Abstract The use of alternative technologies involving biological processes, with economic and ecological gains, is desirable for both the expansion Musa spp. farming renovation areas low yields. Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) can stimulate plant growth, especially by increasing absorption phosphorus (P) other nutrients. This study analyzes influence AMF on growth physiology micropropagated...

Coffee seedlings are commonly produced on substrate composed of a mixture soil and cattle manure, supplemented with chemical fertilizers. Alternatives to reduce production costs produce greater quality health include the use commercial organic substrates, which require less handling. The beneficial microorganisms such as arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) can be considered good alternative for ...

Arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi associated with plant roots play an essential role in the belowground ecological process karst habitats high spatial and substrate heterogeneity. However, effects of AM on root morphology nutrient uptake under different soil patch sizes gravel content are still unclear. A controlled experiment was conducted using a square device divided into 16 grid patches. Th...

The work was carried out to investigate the effects of different concentrations of NaCl on Brachiaria humidicola Rendle in the presence and absence of Glomus etunicatum Becker and Gerdemann, as well as to evaluate some growth parameters and the accumulation of free proline in the plant leaves. The soil used was a Neosoil Fluvic Eutrophic with pH of 6.5, organic matter, 12.8 g kg-1 and soil text...
