Abstract
SHS investigation development is considered from the geographical and historical viewpoint. 3 stages are described. Within Stage 1 the work was carried out in the Department of the Institute of Chemical Physics in Chernogolovka where the scientific discovery had been made. At Stage 2 the interest to SHS arose in different cities and towns of the former USSR. Within Stage 3 SHS entered the international scene. Now SHS processes and products are being studied in more than 50 countries.
Abstract
Mycorrhiza is the mutually beneficial relationship between a plant and a fungus colonizing its roots wherein the plant provides carbohydrates to fungi, in return Mycorrhizal fungal partner imparts several advantages to plants viz., making otherwise unavailable nutrients available to the plant, imparting resistance to diseases. It also has the potential to be used extensively not only for growth and yield but also for disease and insect control along with nutrient cycling, heavy metal assimilation, land reclamation, restoration and so on. The application of mycorrhizal biotechnology has great potential and can play an essential role in the restoration of degraded lands in many surface-mined areas. This chapter is an overview of the prospects, potential and possibilities of Mycorrhiza in agriculture, industry and other environmental applications.
