| Abstract: | The vesicular arbuscular fungusGlomus mosseae (Nicol. & Gerd.) Gerd. & Trappe was retrieved from citrus trees growing in loess soil in the Negev region of Israel. Inoculation of citrus seedlings with the mycorrhizal fungus greatly increased the growth of plants in soil low in phosphorus. Rough lemon responded more than Sour orange. Vesicular arbuscular mycorrhiza caused higher concentrations of P and Cu and lower concentrations of N, K and Ca in leaves of inoculated plants. |
