Effects of arbuscular mycorrhizal inoculation and fertilizer on production of Castanopsis acuminatissima saplings for forest restoration in northern Thailand
Castanopsis acuminatissima is a native tree used to restore forest in Thailand. To accelerate seedling growth experiments were carried out to determine the efficacy of applying to C. acuminatissima. Arbuscular Mycorrhizal (AM) fungi, produced on sorghum, were used as inoculum to investigate the symb...
