About The Book
Utilization of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) in fruit crop improvement has been worked out extensively and found to be highly beneficial. In most of the fruit crops which are propagated through nursery AMF have been found to improve seedling production. India is the second largest producer of fruit crops in the world and hence there is a need to educate the grower on utilization of mycorrhizal technology.
The book provides an insight into the usage of mycorrhizal technology in different f
