Interaction of arbuscular mycorrhizal inoculants and chicken manure in avocado rootstock production

The nursery stage of avocado plant production provides the best opportunity for introducing mycorrhizal inoculants. Three single-species inocula (Acaulospora laevis, Cetraspora pellucida and Pacispora scintillans), an inoculum using a consortium of these three species, an inoculum from a native orch...

description The nursery stage of avocado plant production provides the best opportunity for introducing mycorrhizal inoculants.
