Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Inoculation Following Biocide Treatment Improves Calocedrus decurrens Survival and Growth in Nursery and Outplanting Sites


Commercial production of tree seedlings often includes various biocidal soil treatments for disease control. Such treatments can be effective in eliminating or reducing disease organisms in the soil, but may also eliminate non-targeted beneficial soil organisms, such as mycorrhizal fungi, that improve seedling performance, both in the nursery as well as the outplanted environment. The arbuscular mycorrhizal fungal (AMF) relationship has been verified for some important western coniferous species such as incense cedar (Calocedrus decurrens [Torr.] Florin), coastal redwood (Sequoia sempervirens [D. Don] Endl), and western redcedar (Thuja plicata J. Donne ex D. Don).

If you can read this text, it means you are not experiencing the RNGR design at its best. RNGR makes heavy use of CSS, which means it is accessible to any internet browser, but the design needs a standards-compliant browser represent the intended look. Just so you know ;)
