Could Fungi Provide an Alternative to GM Crops?
Fungi and other microbes could provide a quicker and cheaper way of promoting crop growth in difficult conditions, microbiologists say.

Look at "heugel culture" as presented by Sepp Holzer. Simply stated, you bury whole trees/logs and large branches under the topsoil. The carbon in the wood absorbs water and nitrogen (add manure to logs). The buried wood then releases the nutrients slowly once the wood decomposes. We use mycorhizal fungi to infest and breakdown the logs. These fungi allow plants to absorb THREE TIMES the amount of phosphorus . Also there are beneficial bacteria strains that will triple the amount of potassium available for plants to feed on. Try Microbax in India. Micro-organisms produce some of the most powerful growth stimulants, such as fulvic acid and giberllic acid AND they continue to produce them for FREE, as long as you provide the RIGHT environment (buried logs and manure). Once you dig the hole, or trench, and bury the logs with the manure - you will have a garden that feeds and waters itself for up to 10 years or longer. Type in Sepp Holzer or "heugel culture" on youtube, or look at the mushroom spores (anisopliae) you mix with alcohol or vegetable glycerin and spray on plants that destroy bugs and pests. Much like seeds, we only need one small sample of these organisms, as it is VERY simple to grow your own on wood chips that have been boiled in manure ( to sterilize). I love this stuff..............Peace
I look at the part of the article: "relationship between plants and micro-organisms for clues to their mutual survival through thousands of years of climate change," and use the common sense that nature already knows how to survive. Why not learn from her? We get in trouble (the trouble of extinction) when we think man is smarter than nature. I am a scientifically minded person so this is not about hating on science. I believe in it. I also know for a fact their are many things we don't understand at this point in our existence in the universe. Don't be fooled by those who will pretend to know everything. Just KISS (Keep It Sweet & Simple), if nature gives us the clues and examples after millions of years of doing it, it's stupid to ignore her for egos that will lead to our extinction INCLUDING the egotists themselves.
