ABSTRACT:
The
rising claim for more environmental friendly and healthy agriculture is a
strong incentive to find alternative strategies to replace the use of mineral fertilizer and pesticide. Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF), a
main component of soil microbiota, represent a promising tool as providers of
key ecological services. The present work represented one of the first attempts
to study, under a morphological and molecular point of view, the AMF
communities associated to some strategic crops in Vietnam. The findings about
the AMF morphotypes dominant in different crop systems could be a starting
point for the development of well performing and adapted inocula suitable for
the application in field.
