Effect of vesicular-arbuscular mycorrhizae and phosphorus on leaf and soil mineral nutrient status of apple seedling
Year: 2002
Type: article
Abstract: Fungi tested were Glomus fasciculatum Gerd. and Trappe, Glomus mosseae Nicol. and Gerd., Glomus macrocarpum Tul. and Tul., and Glomus versiforme Berch and Trappe. Regardless of P added to the soil, VAM inoculation increased the concentration of P, Zn, Cu, Mn and Fe in leaves. There was no indication of nutrient interaction between P and Zn with respect to VAM application. Plants grown with supplemental P had greater P tissue concentration than those not receiving P. The maximum nutrient concentration was observed when the plants were fertilized with 50 ppm P and inoculated with Glomus macrocarpum. The optimum nutrient concentration was found when plants were treated with 50 ppm soil application.
