Abstract
Microbial enhancement of P uptake by plants could have significant relevance to low-input susÂtainable agriculture. Our 1986–87 study, conducted with soil that tested deficient in P and positive for the presence of vesicular-arbuscular-mycorrhizae (VAM), examined plant performance in no-till (NT) and conventional-till (CT) plots fertilized with P at 0, 19, and 78 kg ha-1. Microbial effects were determined by comparison of plant data obtained from check plots and test plots fumigated to lower or eliminate VAM activity.
