- Title
INOCULATION OF WHITE CLOVER AND RYEGRASS SEED WITH MYCORRHIZAL FUNGI.
- Authors
Powell, C. Ll.
- Abstract
Seeds of white clover and ryegrass were pelleted with soil heavily infested with the indigenous mycorrhizal fungi or efficient strains of <em>Glomus tenuis</em> and <em>Gigaspora margarita</em> and laid out on unsterilized pasture soils. Ryegrass plants inoculated with <em>Glomus tenuis</em> produced up to 48 % more shoot growth than plants infected with the indigenous mycorrhizal fungi in Dunmore soil in glasshouse conditions. Similar inoculation of clover increased shoot growth by up to 91 % in Te Kuiti soil in the glasshouse and 37 % in the field. Inoculation of clover with <em>Gigaspora margarita</em> increased dry matter of shoots by 79 % in Te Kuiti soil in the field.
