Abstract

The objective of this study was to compare the inter- action between Frankia and vesicular-arbuscular mycorrhizae (VAM) on the growth response of Alnus acwninata H.B.K. seed- lings under three different phosphorus levels. Alnus acuminata seed- lings grown in sterile vermiculite, were inoculated with Frankia strain HFPArI3 and/or VAM (as Glomus inwa-radices) under three R. 0. Russo. J. C. Gordon and G. P.
