Our study tests how soil and plant biodiversity can enhance sustainability of crop production in Kenya. We tested whether mixtures of maize varieties performed better than monocultures and tested their response to arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi. Mycorrhizal responsiveness differed significantly by maize variety, and genetic mixtures outperformed ...

ABSTRACT The development of biofertilization strategies based on arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) represents a promising approach to enhance crop productivity and soil health while reducing the environmental footprint of conventional fertilization. This study evaluated the effects of Glomus iranicum var.

ABSTRACT Rice is a vital staple crop for more than half of the global population, but water limitations threaten its production under flooded conditions. A transition to aerobic production of rice would ease water limitations but may increase nutrient management issues. Arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi could help by boosting nutrient and water uptake,

ABSTRACT Introduction Current recycling measures for closing the phosphorus (P) cycle are limited by the lower fertiliser use efficiencies of recycled products. Increasing P use efficiency (PUE) through maize genotype selection and management may offer a sustainable solution, but the potential of variety choice and its interaction with placed ...

Assessing fungal–mineral interactions in soil: A review of microscale methods
Abstract Biological weathering of minerals has profoundly transformed Earth over geologic time by driving soil formation, nutrient cycling, and long‐term biogeochemical processes. Among soil biota, fungi are increasingly recognized as key yet obscure drivers of weathering through their unique hyphal growth forms, metabolic capabilities, and symbiotic ...

Surface‐functionalized hydrophilic silver nanoparticles (AgNPs‐3MPS, where 3MPS = sodium 3‐mercapto‐1‐propanesulfonate) were synthesized and characterized. Colloidal AgNPs‐3MPS were tested on Quercus pubescens seedlings to link nanomaterial hydrophilicity and loading with plant responses. Results showed a dose‐dependent effects relevant for sustainable
