Abstract
The aim is to compare different wheat cultivars with respect to the formation of a symbiosis with mycorrhiza fungi, the nutrient uptake from the soil, and the activity of soil phosphatases under organic farming. Relationships with drought tolerance of the cultivars, assessed by other project partners, shall be established.
