Title : Use of mycorrhizae for eco-friendly cultivation

Abstract:

Vegetal compost contains important macro and micronutrients that can be used together with mycorrhizae for improving plant growth and ameliorate soil properties, decreasing the use of chemical fertilizers and pesticides. Thus, advances in waste management and microbes such as inoculation of mycorrhizas and bacteria are now more investigated. Innovations have increased worldwide since most plant species, including grasses, associate with microorganisms, especially arbuscular mycorrhizas, decreasing the great quantities of waste delivered to the environment. Despite the higher cost of active restoration, which requires planting seedlings, direct seeding, root inoculation of microorganisms or mitigation of disturbances, the use of waste compost could decrease those costs.as the spontaneous recovery of trees that establish in abandoned fields can also benefit from waste deposition. as increasingly used in restored sites. Rhizosphere engineering is now    directed for better plant growth or for soil carbon sequestration.
