Morphological observation of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) species in rhizospheric soil could not accurately reflect the actual AMF colonizing status in roots, while molecular identification of indigenous AMF colonizing citrus rootstocks at present was rare in China. In our study, community of AMF colonizing trifoliate orange (Poncirus trifoliata L. Raf.) and red tangerine (Citrus reticula...

Spores density and mycorrhizal colonization were studied in twenty-five rhizosphere samples of some selected soils and plant roots from fertile and marginal soils of North West Frontier Province of Pakistan. All tested plants are considered to be mycorrhizal plants. Highest number of mycorrhizal spores was found in Potatoes, Barley, rice and chickpea (>4000 spores kgG soil) in fertile soils. Fi...

to study the effect of chemical and biological fertilizers on growth and essential oil content of lavender (lavandula angustifolia mill.), the present work was conducted in 2012-2013 at the experimental field of alborz research station of the research institute of forests and rangelands, karaj, iran. the experiment was conducted in factorial in the form of a randomized complete block design wit...

the most important limiting factor for mass production of mycorrhizal fungi inoculums and subsequently their use in arable soil is obligate nature of this symbiosis. to overcome this problem, several methods such as hydroponic ,aeroponic, and root organ culture have been proposed for spore production of these fungi. each of these methods has several capabilities and limiting factors.  the goal ...
