THE INFLUENCE OF A SPRINGTAIL FOLSOMIA CANDIDA (INSECTA, COLLEMBOLA) ON THE MYCORRHIZAL ASSOCIATION OF LEEK ALLIUM PORRUM AND THE VESICULAR-ARBUSCULAR MYCORRHIZAL ENDOPHYTE GLOMUS FASCICULATUS

摘要: Summary Seedlings of leek were grown in a factorial experiment to examine the interactions between mycorrhizal infection with Glomus fasciculatus, soil teachings and Collembola, Folsomia Candida. The growth was increased by leachings, latter having lesser effect, reduced F. There strong interaction effects presence Candida since infected plants pots Collembola grew little better than uninfected plants. Evidence from root weight ratios, phosphate inflows gut contents all suggest that this is due grazing external hyphae G. so rendering ineffective.
