Enhancing growth and graft success of shea (Vitellaria paradoxa C.F. Gaertn) through targeted inoculation with indigenous arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi
Vitellaria paradoxa is a keystone species in West African agroforestry systems, but its regeneration is constrained by slow juvenile growth and low graft success. Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) can enhance seedling vigor, yet their contribution to the production of graftable rootstocks remains poorly documente...
