Influence of Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi and Silicon on Soybean Growth and Development in the Field
ABSTRACT Applications of silicon (Si) and arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) to soils to increase plant resistance and plant growth and development are potential alternatives in soybean cultivation. Si and AMF promote growth and stress tolerance through increased absorption of essential micro and macronutrients, restriction of toxic ion uptake ...
