in a greenhouse experiment, the effects of glomus intraradices and indigenous mycorrhizal isolates from soils under plow and no-till treatments on the uptake of 32p placed at 1, 2.5 and 4 cm from the roots of white clover (trifolium repens) in 23, 37 or 46 days after planting were compared.spores of the indigenous fungi were mostly a mixture of glomus mossea, g. clarum, g. caledonium and g....

Citrus volkameriana Tan. and Pasq. (`Volkamer' lemon) seedlings were inoculated with ®ve different communities of arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi collected from citrus orchards in Mesa and Yuma, AZ, USA, and undisturbed North American Sonoran Desert and Chihuahuan Desert soils. Plants were then grown in a glasshouse for four months under continually moist or periodically dry conditions achiev...

The effects of two Bacillus strains (Bacillus pumillus and B. licheniformis) on Medicago sativa plants were determined in single or dual inoculation with three arbuscular-mycorrhizal (AM) fungi and compared to P-fertilization. Shoot and root plant biomass, values of thymidine and leucine incorporation as well as ergosterol and chitin in rhizosphere soil were evaluated to estimate metabolic acti...

Verticillium wilt, caused by Verticillium dahliae, is widespread in intensive strawberry (Fragaria ananassa) growing areas. It is effectively controlled in site preparation by soil fumigation with methyl bromide but with the ban on ozone-depleting chemicals, which applies to methyl bromide, there has been an international effort to find alternatives, which will protect the crop from planting to...

improved pasture establishment in plants, especially in arid and semi-arid is very important application of biological fertilizers in pasture can be considered as a useful approach. that is one of the sources of the symbiotic fungus.. the purpose of the present study was to investigate the possibility of enhancing seedling establishment and growth rate of bromus kopetdaghensis under natural hab...

In order to study the effects of drought stress and mycorrhiza fungi on establishment rate and some growth-morphological traits ofZiziphora clinopodoides, pot experiments were conducted as factorial design based on a completely randomized design at the research greenhouse of agricultural faculty, Ferdowsi University of Mashhad in 2014; pots were combined as four levels of drought stress includi...

A pot experiment examined the biomass and As uptake of Medicago truncatula colonized by the arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungus Glomus mosseae in low-P soil experimentally contaminated with different levels of arsenate. The biomass of G. mosseae external mycelium was unaffected by the highest addition level of As studied (200 mg kg(-1)) but shoot and root biomass declined in both mycorrhizal and...

Wild strawberry (Fragaria vesca) microplants were inoculated at establishment in the glasshouse with the commercial inoculants Endorize IV, Vaminoc and Glomus mosseae. After 2 weeks, plants were transferred to control peat-based growth substrate and Suppressor®, a commercial peat substrate amended with chitin-containing shellfish waste. Percentage root length colonisation (%RLC) by Vaminoc and ...
