Compost Tea Reduces the Susceptibility of to in Nursery Production.

Nutrition is one of the factors that most limits forestry plant growth; thus, current production in nurseries is based on conventional fertilization focused on enhancing vigor. However, an excessive intake of mineral nitrogen can cause morphological imbalances and the formation of more succulent tissues which, consequently, increase susceptibility to plant pathogens. is the causal agent of pitch canker in plants of the genus, with being the species most susceptible to this disease.

Differential responses of three fungal species to environmental factors and their role in the mycorrhization of Pinus radiata D. Don.

Three ectomycorrhizal (ECM) isolates of Rhizopogon luteolus, R. roseolus and Scleroderma citrinum were found to differ markedly in their in vitro tolerance to adverse conditions limiting fungal growth, i.e.
