Pot and field experiments were conducted to assess varietal differences in growth and yield responses of soybean (Glycine max L. Merrill) to commercial arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) inoculant (Empathy Mycorrhizal Rootgrow™). Three soybean cultivars (TGx 1448-2E, TGx 1440-1E and TGx 1740-2F) wer...
