More things in Heaven and Earth: Mycorrhizal fungi, ploughing, no-till and glyphosate. #Glyphosate reduces levels of beneficial mycorrhizae. Organic farming leads to healthier mycorrhizal communities. And there's more than fungi to the soil microbiome! sustainablefoodtrust.org/news-views/mor…
A Dutch study found that arable fields under organic management had more arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi species than conventionally managed ones, with the difference becoming increasingly significant as time passed, following conversion to organic methods nph.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/j.…
The same study also showed that organic soils had mycorrhizal communities which were more diverse than farmed soils not under organic management, and more similar to those found under natural grasslands — a finding that was replicated in this Swiss study link.springer.com/article/10.100…
Several other studies also found higher populations of mycorrhizae on organic farms, including another Swiss study that found a much greater proportion of plant roots colonised by mycorrhizal fungi in organic arable systems compared with conventional ones link.springer.com/article/10.100…
