Mycorrhizae (The) – The Rise of the New Green Revolution

Description

New revised and expanded edition!

Mycorrhizae are formed by microscopic fungi which work wonders in horticulture, working in symbiosis with plant roots. Fungi help plants obtain nutrients from the soil and adapt to the environment. In exchange, the plants provide the fungi with the energy they are unable to obtain from the sun themselves.

Over the last few years, a multitude of studies have demonstrated the scientific and practical interest of these symbioses for all plants around the world, whether in natural ecosystems or those developed by humans.

A large number of practitioners in horticulture, agriculture, forestry and the environment still have little understanding of the concrete importance of this phenomenon. However, sustainable practices in these fields of application have everything to gain from judicious use of mycorrhizal symbioses.

Since the first edition of this book in 2008, more than 10000 new contributions to the knowledge of mycorrhizae have been published around the world. This is why this new edition, expanded and updated, now seemed necessary.

It is in this spirit that the authors – authorities on the subject of mycorrhizae – have prepared this reissue which aims both to provide an understanding of the biology of mycorrhizae and to show how to benefit from it in many aspects of plant cultivation. and their protection, while ensuring the maintenance of natural balances.
