There was a time when no one knew about the partnership between mycorrhizal fungi and plants. Now it is time to learn about the analog relationship between bacteria and plants known as rhizophagy. This talk will clarify the amazing process and show you how to harness it to increase plant productivity, health, and tolerance to stresses such as pathogens, climate change, and soil loss. You think you know why plants develop root hairs, but you don’t really know! Find out.

Jeff Lowenfels is the longest running garden columnist in North America, approaching 5O years of weekly columns. His ability to successfully explain the science behind organics has resulted in four award-winning books that have been translated into well over half a dozen languages, including Teaming with Bacteria: The Organic Gardener’s Guide to Endophytic Bacteria and the Rhizophagy Cycle. His real contribution, however, is starting Plant A Row For The Hungry, a program to get all gardeners to grow one row and donate it to someone, place or organization that needs it.
