MARTIN, Gloria M  y  RIVERA, Ramón. Influence of mycorrhizal inoculation on green manures. Effect on the main crop. A case study: corn. cultrop [online]. 2015, vol.36, suppl.1, pp. 34-50. ISSN 1819-4087.

The value of the green manures as nitrogen supply has been recognized during centuries by farmers. Another benefit associated to the use of these plant types is that they increase the activity and diversity of the soil microorganisms, such as the arbuscular mycorrhizical fungus. In the present bibliographical revision it summarizes some results obtained in the world and in Cuba in relation to the definition and importance of green manures, the evaluation of the use of nitrogen and the substitution of other nitrogen sources by these plants in the agricultural systems. Likewise, characteristics and benefits of the arbuscular mycorrhizical fungus (AMF) are approached, their function in the plant nutrition, factors that influence in this efficiency, the effect of the symbiosis establish in the optimization of the nutritious supply. Lastly, some considerations are offered about the mycorrhizical inoculation and rotation with green manures and some results obtained with corn. The use of these two nutritional alternatives for plants is inevitable, given the importance of the environment conservation, to obtain healthy foods and the higher price of fertilizers in the world market

Palabras clave : mycorrhizae; plant nutrition.
