Effects of Endomycorrhizal Inoculation on Growth of Selected Landscape Plants Used in Highway Revegetation (Revised: January 1986)

摘要

Verkade and Hamilton (1980) found that extensive mycorrhizal development occurred on roots of regal privet (Ligustrum obtusifolium) after six weeks of rooting in media containing inoculum of Glomus mosseae. The coincided with substantial increases in root development. It, hence, was reasonable to conclude that inoculation in the propagation state of production would insure the earliest possible mycorrhizal development and subsequent promotion of growth. The objective of the experiment was to evaluate the effectiveness of mycorrhizal inoculation during clonal propagation by cuttings.
