Abstracts |
Two arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (Glomus deserticola and Glomus fasciculatum) were entrapped in calcium alginate, alone or in combination with a phosphate-solubilizing yeast (Yarowia lipolytica) and, after storage for 60 days, were inoculated into soil microcosms with tomato as the test plant. The average extent of root colonization by gel-entrapped G. deserticola and G. fasciculatum were 32 ± 5.6 and 24 ± 12.1%, respectively. Improved infective potential and colonization efficiency were observed when Y. lipolytica was co-entrapped with the mycorrhizal fungi. The best value, 49%, of mycorrhizal colonization was in roots of plants inoculated with G. deserticola co-entrapped with Y. lipolytica. |
