Mycorrhizal fungi form symbiotic associations with over 90% of the world's plant species. The relationship is particularly important for agricultural plants that have large requirements for nutrients and water to achieve optimum yields. Research has documented improved plant nutrient and water uptake and resistance to a wide range of soil diseases and environmental extremes. Download the full article.

Golf course management is a balance between the speed of play, golfer’s desire to see perfectly manicured turf grass and the ecological concerns of frequent chemical and water use. The selection of fertilizers, pesticides and water are important not only to the "look" of the course but to the surrounding environment as well. Golf course managers can use a group of beneficial soil organisms, the mycorrhizal fungi, to improve the health and vigour of their turf grass. Download the full article.

Eucalypts are one important species for wood production in plantations in Australia and Asia because of their capacity to grow on soils with limited phosphorus and nitrogen. Ectomycorrhizas have been shown experimentally to provide substantial growth responses when eucalypts are grown in infertile soils and thus are considered important for tree productivity in plantations.
