- Bio–Tillage Mediated by Root–AMF Synergy Promotes the Amelioration of the Compacted Soil Environment and Soybean Growth Under Conservation Management (2026) · Agronomy · doi
The effects of conservation management on root adaptation and AMF responses in compacted soils are not well understood. The mechanisms by which bio-tillage mediated by root-AMF synergy affects soil environment and crop growth are not clear. The optimal conservation management practices for improving soil health and crop productivity in compacted soils are not well established.
