Abstracts |
Two indigenous arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi from the Mediterranean wine
growing area in the Northeast of Spain were isolated and classified as Glomus intraradices
Schenck & Smith. Both native fungi were found to increase the growth of the vine rootstock 110
Richter under greenhouse conditions compared with G. Intraradices (BEG 72) and a phosphorus (P)
fertilization treatment. The effectivity of field inoculation of Cabernet Sauvignon plants
grafted on Richter 110 with the former native fungi and with G. Intraradices BEG 72 in a replant
vineyard severely infested by the root-rot fungus Armillaria mellea (Vahl ex Fr.) Kummer was
assessed. The native fungi were not effective at enhancing plant development, and only G.
Intraradices BEG 72, resulted in a positive response. Field inoculation with this selected fungus
increased plant shoot dry weight at the end of the first growing season. |
