Broomsedge (Andropogon virginicus L.) is a dominant grass revegetating many abandoned coal-mined lands in West Virginia, USA. Residual soils on such sites are often characterized by low pH, low nutrients, and high aluminium. Experiments were conducted to assess the resistance of broomsedge to limited phosphorus (Pi) availability and to investigate the role that arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi...

in order to investigate the effect of two mycorrhizal species (glomus mosseae and g. intraradices) on different growth aspects of two pistachio cultivars (p. vera cv. badami-riz zarand, and p. vera cv. qazvini), a greenhouse experiment was conducted taking into account three factors of: mycorrhizae inoculation at three levels (no mycorrhizae application as control, g. mosseae , g. intraradices)...

Gerbera jamesoniiis of commercial significance and fifth most used cut flower in the world today. A pot experiment was performed to see the effect of co-inoculation of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) i.e. (Glomus mosseae andAcaulospora laevis) with phosphate solubilizing bacteria Pseudomonas fluorescensin the presence of different doses of superphosphate (low, medium, high) on growth establi...

and inoculation with the arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi Glomus mosseae (Nicol. and Gerd.) Gerdmann and Trappe, Glomus intraradices Schenck and Smith or Glomus viscosum Nicolson on shoot apical growth of plantlets that had been micropropagated from MM 106 apple (Malus pumila L.) and Mr.S. 2/5 plum (Prunus cerasifera Ehrh.) rootstocks. Unfertilized and non-mycorrhizal plantlets showed no apical gro...

environmental problems associated with the excessive use of chemical fertilizers and abiotic stresses due to soil pollution by heavy metals have encouraged use of biological fertilizers in modern agriculture. in order to protect environment and reduce the tension caused by heavy metals, it is essential to use biofertilizer in crop production. to assess the effects of biofertilizers on yield and...

in this research the effect of two species of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi, glomus mosseae and glomus intraradices on root knot nematode, meloidogyne javanica was investigated and in different treatments the effects of this interaction on parameters of plant growth , nematode infection and mycorrhizal development were evaluated.shoot fresh and dry weight significantly increased in mycorrhizal t...

Lavender species form the arbuscular mycorrhizal symbiosis and are at the same time highly susceptible to white root rot. In an attempt to evaluate the response of mycorrhizal Lavandula angustifolia L. to Armillaria mellea (Vahl:Fr) P. Kumm in a greenhouse experiment, plants were previously inoculated with an isolate of the arbuscular mycorrhizal fungus Rhizophagus irregularis (former Glomus in...

Commercial production of tree seedlings often includes various biocidal soil treatments for disease control. Such treatments can be effective in eliminating or reducing disease organisms in the soil, but may also eliminate non-targeted beneficial soil organisms, such as mycorrhizal fungi, that improve seedling performance, both in the nursery as well as the outplanted environment. The arbuscula...
