soil microflora

Certain soil microflora can form tight associations with the root systems, or even grow within the root.

It may represent subtle differences in growth cycle or growth form or more complex interactions involving the soil microflora, perhaps the mycorrhizae.

Shifts in soil microflora induced by velvetbean (Mucuna deeringiana) in cropping systems to control root-knot nematodes.

The results of some studies suggest that unknown components of the soil microflora might be required for B. edulis to successfully establish a mycorrhizal relationship with the host plant.

Watering should take on a cycle between watering and keeping the soil moist (but not damp) with a short "drying out" period to keep soil microflora in check once every 10-14 days/ 5 days.
