Field experiments were conducted near Weslaco, Texas (Lat. 26° 8' N) between 1999 and 2001 to evaluate the field performance of preand post-mycorrhizal inoculations of tomato and onion (2001 only) transplants. In 1999 ‘Heatmaster’ tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum Mill.) transplants were inoculated with Glomes intraradices (Reforestation Technologies, Salinas, CA) at transplanting; in 2000 ‘Heatm...

This experiment aims at establishing the ability of the endomycorrhizal fungus Glomus intraradices to suppress the plant pathogen Pythium ultimum in cherry tomato. A study published in Canadian Journal of Plant Pathology in 1994 showed that Glomus intraradices suppresses Pythium ultimum in Tagetes patula (french marigold) (St-Arnaud, Fortin, Caron, & Hamel, 1994). Pythium ultimum and other Pyth...

The study evaluated the response of alfalfa (Medicago sativa L) to arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AM) species Glomus intraradices and Sinorhizobium meliloti, strain 1021 regarding the dry biomass accumulation, mycorrhizal fungi colonization, nodulation and nitrogen fixation activity. Alfalfa plants were grown in a glasshouse until the flowering stage (58 days), in 4 kg plastic pots using leached...

Application of strategies induced a heavy metal tolerant turfgrass is necessary for cultivation management. Water and soil contamination with heavy metals is an increasing concern for the human and environment health. This study was conducted to evaluate the mitigation of environmental Cd toxicity through landscape turfgrasses as affected by two arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) species and to...
