The Influence of Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi on Alfalfa Resistance Against Pollution With Heavy Metals and Arsenicum

Year: 2007

Type: article

Abstract: The influence of the mycorrhizal infection by G. mosseae (Nicol. et Gerd.) Gerd et Trappe on the growth of Medicago sativa L. plants under different level of soil pollution with heavy metals (Zn, Pb, Cd, Cu) and arsenicum was studied. It was established the strongly increase of the growth and shoot biomass of mycorrhizal plants. The positive effect of mycorrhization on the growth of alfalfa plants was greater in the soils with the higher level of soil pollution with heavy metals and arsenicum.
