New paper New Phytologist! Meta-analysis of 302 globally sourced AMF inoculant trials. Only 12% of commercial products both boosted crop growth and had effective root colonization by mycorrhizal fungi. Good news: Research lab fungi outperform products 5X! nph.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/np…
