Gärtnern mit Pilzen

Long misunderstood and scorned by gardeners, the crucial role of fungi in the success of most plants is now well known. In a mutually beneficial exchange, host plants provide fungi with essential carbon. In return, fungi assist the roots in reaching and absorbing vital nutrients and water. The interaction is so complex that scientists have only recently been able to unravel the intricate processes involved. With his talent for presenting complicated concepts in a clear and engaging manner, Jeff Lowenfels explains why mycorrhizal fungi are incredibly important for agricultural operations. From commercial farming and hydroponics to legal cannabis cultivation and everything in between, utilizing these valuable mycorrhizal connections has proven to be a strategy for sustained growth success. Gardening with Fungi demonstrates how to apply the fundamental principles of these connections to achieve healthier, more resilient, and more productive plants.
