Rhizophagy – how plants farm soil microbes

Science continues to reveal just how sophisticated the relationship is between plant roots and the soil microbiome. We've written before about plants acting as miniature solar panels, using photosynthesis to produce sugars that are released into the soil as root exudates. These exudates feed soil microbes, creating a symbiotic partnership between plants and the organisms that live around their roots The post Rhizophagy – how plants farm soil microbes appeared first on Regenerative Viticulture Foundation .
