Interaction between an Indigenous Endomycorrhizal Fungus and Mineral Nutrition of Rosa multiflora Understock

Year: 1986

Type: article

Abstract: Disbudded ‘Brooks 56’ Rosa multiflora Thunb. plants were grown in 0.01 or 0.1 Steiner solutions and inoculated with indigenous vesicular-arbuscular mycorrhizal fungal (VAMF) species, Glomus fasciculatum (Thax. sensu Gerd.) Gerd. and Trappe. Inoculation resulted in a significant increase in both fresh and dry weight of the R. multiflora plants. Increasing the Steiner solution from 0.01 to 0.1 resulted not only in a significant decrease in the rate of VAMF infection, but also in a significant increase in the fresh and dry weight of the multiflora understock.
