"The researchers' goal is to have suppliers sell
farmers
colonized host plants for plantingnot as a crop,
but
to start colonies of the fungi in soil, compost,
or a
compost/soil mix. Then, after the fungi have had
time
to multiply, farmers would apply the colonized
soil in
manure spreaders along with their compost."
This would certainly reduce fertilzer costs for farmers (and
others), and possibly help in drought tolerance of plants
(with these strange seasons we have been having)..
