Inoculation, Seedling production, SymbiosisAbstract
The aim of this study was to compare mycorrhizal infection and quality indicators of Calophyllum brasiliense and Anandenanthera colubrina var. cebil seedlings from Pantanal Wetland Biome, Brazil, produced in non-fumigated substrate under combined inoculation with Glomus clarum (Gc) + Gigaspora margarita (Gm). Seedlings were produced from seeds of local populations seeds, inoculated and non-inoculated with Gc + Gm. They were randomly selected and evaluated for morphological quality parameters, percentage, intensity and morphology of mycorrhizal colonization of fine roots. We concluded that, under the study conditions, Gc + Gm inoculation promotes changes in the percentage, intensity (A. colubrina var. cebil) or morphology (C. brasiliense) of root infection when compared to non-inoculated seedlings. Increase in quality of seedlings was observed in C. brasiliense under combined inoculation with Gc + Gm, indicating the potential of mycorrhizal fungi use in this specie.Downloads
