Abstract
Since 1995, several field experiments were conducted to search effect of selected and indigenous mycorrhizal spores for horticultural plant species production and nutrient uptake in the Mediterranean region.
The effect of several mycorrhizal species such as Glomus mosseae, G. etunicatum, G. intraradices, G. macrocarpium, G. caledonium, G. margarita, G. clarium and their cocktail and indigenous mycorrhizae inoculation on seedling survival and plant growth was studied.
Mycorrhizal species were studied for, citrus, banana, fig, olive, and cherry tree plant species.
Mycorrhizal dependency and growth response of several plants were calculated under several P level applications with several selected exotic mycorrhizal species.
Seedling quality, seedling survival under field conditions, and yield response to mycorrhizae were tested.
Moreover, relationships between plant growth and root colonization were studied.
Plant tissue P, Zn, and other nutrients were determined.
Results revealed that indigenous mycorrhizae successfully infect plant roots resulting in better plant growth.
The effect of mycorrhizal inoculation on plant growth is changed by the effectiveness of inoculum and time. G. mosseae, G. caledonium, G. clarium, and indigenous mycorrhizae significantly inoculated plant roots and had a significant effect on plant growth and nutrient uptake.
In horticultural seedlings, quality and survival of the seedlings are important factors.
With mycorrhizae inoculation, seedlings P and Zn concentration significantly increased.
In general, horticultural plants are mycorrhizal dependent plants.
Dependency is pronounced more for P nutrition rather than Zn nutrition.
