Use of arbuscular mycorrhizal technology in horticultural practice.

German Federal Foundation for the Environment. The use of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi in horticulture should lead to a reduction in fertiliser and pesticides as well as downtimes in the greenhouse. The savings are presented in a life cycle assessment. The aim is to introduce environmentally friendly plant cultivation.
