Commodity Classic Sponsored Session: Nutrient Access Beyond the Roots
Exploring the Role of Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi (AMF) in Crop Health
Understanding how crops access nutrients and water is key to improving productivity and resilience. Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi (AMF) form a symbiotic relationship with plants, extending their root network and enhancing nutrient and water uptake.
Session Details:
- Date: March 2
- Time: 1:00 PM – 1:30 PM
- Location: Mile High Ballroom 4DE
- Session Type: What’s New Session
- Sponsored by: Sound Agriculture
Key Insights on AMF and Crop Growth:
- Expanded Nutrient Uptake: AMF allows crops to access macronutrients, micronutrients, and water beyond the root zone.
- Improved Soil Biology: Enhances soil health by fostering beneficial microbial interactions.
- Sustainable Productivity: Supports crop resilience and reduces reliance on conventional inputs.
Important Takeaways:
- Understand how AMF enhances nutrient and water absorption, contributing to stronger crops.
- Explore strategies to support AMF populations for improved soil health and nutrient efficiency.
- Learn about practical applications for integrating AMF-supporting products into farm management practices.
