Abstracts |
The effects of five VAM fungi (Glomus etunicatum, Glomus caledonium, Glomus clarum, Glomus mosseae, and mixed inoculum) on the nutritional status of four grapevine rootstocks (420 A, 41 B, 1103 P, and 'Rupestris du Lot') were investigated. One-year-old grapevine rootstock cuttings were rooted in perlite and transferred to black polyethylene bags filled with fumigated growing medium. A 40 g mycorrhizal soil band was used for each inoculation. The percentage of VAM inoculation, leaf area, N, P, K, and total sucrose contents of the leaves were determined. Ten months after inoculation, grapevine rootstocks were colonized by the VAM fungi at frequencies ranging from 47.0 to 64.1%. Inoculations with G. etunicatum and G. clarum significantly increased the leaf areas of 41 B, 420 A, and 1103 P rootstocks. The VAM fungi increased leaf P, but not N and K concentrations. Leaf total sucrose concentrations of the grapevine rootstocks were increased two- to four-fold with certain inoculums compared with the control. |
