Relationship of mycorrhizal growth enhancement and plant growth with soil water and texture

摘要: Soybean plants were grown in pots with or without vesicular-arbuscular myocorrhizal (VAM) fungi three soils of low plant-available P content, different texture and water-holding capacities. Mineral nutrients, except P, provided a complete nutrient solution. The biomass non-VAM was positively fungal colonization negatively correlated increasingly coarse soil texture. There no correlation host endophyte growth. Plant growth enhancement water content at −1.5 MPa. These observations suggest status the mycorrhizal condition interact influencing plant
