Abstract: Abstract In a greenhouse study, we examined the application potential of symbiotic arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) and water absorbing gel (hydrogel) in planting pot-grown ornamental plants that periodically experience drought stress. We tested the hypotheses… read more here.

Abstract: Abstract Physicochemical traits of peat-based pot substrates prepared from mixing of 20 or 40 vol.% of some different mineral fractions (sub. 1 to 7, subjected to decreasing amount of clay content of 66.1, 61.2, 49.7, 38.5,… read more here.
