Impact of mycorrhization on transplanting stress and the juvenile growth of an Ivorian forest species Guibourtia ehie (Fabaceae, (A. Chev.) J. Leonard)

Ivorian forest has been experiencing degradation for several decades despite reforestation efforts. The main cause of the failure policies is an important mortality at time planting (transplanting stress). To remedy this problem, mycorrhization technology based on beneficial effects arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) could provide a sustainable solution. objective study was to evaluate AMF inocula (local and commercial inoculum) juvenile growth Côte d'Ivoire species (Guibourtia ehie). Vegetative parameters mineral nutrition (N, P, K, Ca) were evaluated. After 150 days cultivation, plants treated with local inoculum had highest frequencies (75%) intensities (21.23%). Also (height, number leaves, leaf area, crown diameter) nitrogen potassium contents, polyspecific values compared control plants. Mycorrhization improved as well vegetative G. ehie seedlings. integration inoculation from strains in be solution recolonization degraded forests by endangered species.   Key words: Guibourtia ehie, inoculum, nutrition, growth, Ivory Coast.
