>Low soil P can occur because the soil layers rich in

P have been eroded. Low populations of indigenous

mycorrhizal fungi can occur when the soil has previously

supported either a predominance of plants that are

non-mycorrhizal (e.g., cabbage, broccoli) or plants that

are not dependent on mycorrhizal associations (e.g.,

kikuyugrass).<

Some conifers, cane plants, exotics and others need certain micorrhiza in their soil to germinate or survive, but humans have been growing vegetables without adding specific microorganisms since the dawn of time.

 

Do you have a soil problem with broccoli?  Not the easiest thing to grow.
