Effect of Arbucula Myrrhizal Fungi on an Ecological Crop of Chili Peppers (Capsicum annuum L.)

Mapuche farmers in southern Chile have been cultivating local ecotypes of chili pepper (Capsicum annuum L.), called locally "Cacho de cabra" for many decades. It is used to make "merkén", a condiment that is consumed locally and exported. This vegetable requires a nursery stage a...
