Effect
Increased nutrient availability in soil or substrate
Increased produce quality
Increased phosphorous P use efficiency
AM 120 treated Sorghum grown in a greenhouse had 4 weeks after planting on average 120 % more mycorrhizal colonization and 37.5 % more shoot dry weight compared to the untreated (negative) control. The highest dose (30 g/L) had a significant effect on the shoot dry weight.
