Abstracts |
The experiment was conducted in the Experimental Station in Baranowo near Poznan between 2007-2009. The influence of mycorrhizal fungi on the growth and yield of the plum tree cultivar - 'Cacanska Lepotica' and sour cherry tree cultivar - 'Schattenmorelle' was estimated. Three years after planting, the plum trees had bigger vigour of growth, expressed by TCSA, in a combination with mycorrhizal fungi. Sour cherry trees did not differ in growth after the use of mycorrhizal fungi. A higher yield of fruits was harvested from plum and sour cherry trees inoculated with a mycorrhizal fungi. Productivity of mycorrhized trees, calculated according to the cross-sectional area of the trunk, was higher than in the control. The use of mycorrhizal fungi had no influence on fruit mass of the investigated species of fruit trees. |
