The use of biochar in strawberry cultivation improved mycorrhizal colonization and

root biomass. Plants grown with 9% of biochar and inoculated with C.

etunicatum showed more profuse root system. In conclusion, the addition of AMF and
biochar to the cultivation substrate benefits the performance of the plants, with
emphasis on the root system and the phytochemical quality of strawberries.
Objective: To teach about nursery management, protected cultivation and different components
of precision farming along with other Hi-tech technologies of horticulture.
