Review. Influence of mycorrhizal inoculation on green manures. Effect on the main crop. A case study: corn
Main Article Content
Abstract
supply has been recognized during centuries by farmers.
Another benefit associated to the use of these plant types
is that they increase the activity and diversity of the soil
microorganisms, such as the arbuscular mycorrhizical
fungus. In the present bibliographical revision it summarizes
some results obtained in the world and in Cuba in relation
to the definition and importance of green manures, the
evaluation of the use of nitrogen and the substitution of other
nitrogen sources by these plants in the agricultural systems.
Likewise, characteristics and benefits of the arbuscular
mycorrhizical fungus (AMF) are approached, their function
in the plant nutrition, factors that influence in this efficiency,
the effect of the symbiosis establish in the optimization of
the nutritious supply. Lastly, some considerations are offered
about the mycorrhizical inoculation and rotation with green
manures and some results obtained with corn. The use of
these two nutritional alternatives for plants is inevitable,
given the importance of the environment conservation, to
obtain healthy foods and the higher price of fertilizers in
the world market.
