Popis: | Mycorrhizal fungi are ubiquitous components of most ecosystems throughout the world and are considered key ecological factors in governing the cycles of major plant nutrients and in sustaining the vegetation cover. The lack of mycorrhizal fungi on root systems is a leading cause of poor plant establishment and growth in a variety of forest landscapes. Numerous studies have shown that specific ectomycorrhizal fungi are able to improve the survival and early growth of various tree species in the field. This mycorrhizal effect can be achieved by inoculating seedlings before they are transplanted to disturbed sites. The main objective of this chapter was to describe methods required to produce large quantities of efficient fungal inoculum and to present some tree growth data resulting from the use of controlled ectomycorrhization in nursery and field conditions in tropical and Mediterranean areas. |
