Mike Dixon Guest SES Seminar Series

"Improving Irrigation Management Strategies in Ontario's Tree Nurseries" High mortality rates among most species of nursery trees after transplanting is generally blamed on water stress imposed by a variety of soil and other environmental conditions. This study examined the efficacy of a consortium of micorrhyzae, comprised of twenty species of both endo and ecto mycorrhyzae, to mitigate drought stress and reduce irrigation requirements when inoculated into the root zone of recently transplanted trees.
