The Potential of Utilizing the Arbuscular Mycorrhiza (AM) in the Rehabilitation of Sandy Tailings With Acacia Mangium Willd

This study examined the potential of utilising the AM fungi and an organic fertiliser in improving the plant growth and soil fertility status of sandy tailings. The AM fungal spore and Most Probable Number (MPN) count and root infection ratings were determined in barren sandy tailings and sandy...
