The diversity of arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi in six Capsicum annum or Lycopersicum esculentum L. horticultural production systems of small farmers, and of two wheat agrosystems was comparatively investigated in Southern Chile (La Araucania). Soils in this region are mostly originated by vol...

DIVERSITY OF ARBUSCULAR MYCORRHIZAL FUNGI IN HORTICULTURAL PRODUCTION SYSTEMS OF SOUTHERN CHILE
The main factors affecting the diversity of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) are host plant, environmental characteristics and geographical location. A better understanding of the influence of land use changes on AMF abundance will help in improving their management, leading to improved plant p...

Arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi play an important role in protecting host plant against phytotoxic aluminum (Al) in soil. The aim of this work was to analyze the effect of AM fungi native from acid soil on the growth of four Al-tolerant wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) genotypes. A greenhouse exper...

In cereals cultivated in Southern Chilean Andosols, arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi may play a main role for phosphorus (P) uptake. Because P acquisition at early growth stages is crucial for cereals, we investigated the development of indigenous AM during the first 45 days after planting of tw...
