Responses of Casuarina equisetifolia to inoculation with Glomus fasciculatum and/or Frankia

Response of Casuarina equisetifolia L. to inoculation with Glomus fasciculatum and/or Frankia was studied in a phosphorus-deficient unsterile soil. Mycorrhizal root colonization and sporulation was greatest in plants inoculated with G. fasciculatum alone compared with other treatments. Single inocul...

Description
Summary:Response of Casuarina equisetifolia L. to inoculation with Glomus fasciculatum and/or Frankia was studied in a phosphorus-deficient unsterile soil. Mycorrhizal root colonization and sporulation was greatest in plants inoculated with G. fasciculatum alone compared with other treatments. Single inoculation with either G. fasciculatum or Frankia significantly improved plant growth compared with uninoculated control plants. The effects of G. fasciculatum were greater than those of Frankia. Dual inoculation with both the symbionts enhanced the growth of Casuarina more than single inoculation with either organism.
