Effect of symbiosis in the production of melon seedlings with arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi

This research was performed in a semi-controlled greenhouse of the "Estación Experimental Canchones", in which the evolution of the effect of the mycorrhizal fungi over the growth parameters, differentiation, biomass, stress indicators and biochemical indicators for the production of the h...
