The use of mycorrhizal fungi in horticulture
What are mycorrhizal fungi?
Mycorrhizal fungi form symbiosis with > 90% of land plants
They live in the soil and colonize plant roots

The impact of long-term organic farming on soil-derived greenhouse gas emissions
Agricultural practices contribute considerably to emissions of greenhouse gases. So far, knowledge on the impact of organic compared to non-organic farming on soil-derived nitrous oxide (N2O) and methane (CH4) emissions is limited. We investigated N2O and CH4fluxes with manual chambers during 571 days in a grass-clover– silage maize – green...
