Jim Bever, University of Kansas: Microbiome influence on yield of Perennial Polycultures

Keynote talk by Jim Bever, University of Kansas at the conference "is the future of Agriculture Parennial, Lund Universit, May 2019 Components of the microbiome of plants, including beneficial symbionts such as mycorrhizal fungi and N-fixing bacteria, and antagonistic pathogens, can exert large effects on yield. While conventional management of annual agriculture emphasizes disruption of the plant microbiome through tillage, fertilization, pesticide use and breeding, alternative approaches could be taken to maximize the benefits of the microbiome in perennial agriculture. We develop perspectives on microbiome influence on perennial yield based on research on the microbiome of prairie plants and annual agriculture.
