Other claims from this paper (18)
- Intervention effect In deep peat soil, inoculation increased root infection from 2% to up to 70%.
- Association The inoculation gain in infection diminished as added phosphorus increased.
- Intervention effect Inoculation significantly increased white clover shoot growth at 0 and 20 kg P ha −1.
- Intervention effect At 200 kg P ha −1, inoculation decreased shoot growth.
- Observation Both mycorrhizal endophytes produced similar effects.
- Observation In brown earth soil, indigenous endophyte infection ranged from 30 to 50%.
- Intervention effect Inoculation significantly increased root infection in brown earth soil only at 40 kg P ha −1.
- Observation Introduced coarse endophytes replaced between a quarter and a half of indigenous endophytes at each phosphorus level.
- Intervention effect Endophyte replacement had no significant effect on shoot and root dry weight.
- Intervention effect Inoculation tended to increase shoot and root dry weight, particularly with G. etunicatus.
- Intervention effect Inoculation tended to increase shoot and root phosphorus content, significantly only at 40 kg P ha −1.
- Intervention effect Field inoculation with Giomus mosseae L1 raised infected root from 18 to 42%.
- Intervention effect Field inoculation did not affect shoot growth or phosphorus concentration in deep peat soil.
- Intervention effect In brown earth field soil, inoculation did not increase root infection.
- Intervention effect Brown earth field inoculation had no effect on shoot growth in the sowing year.
- Intervention effect At 40 kg P ha −1, G. etunicatus inoculation doubled clover dry shoot yield relative to uninoculated plants.
- Intervention effect G. etunicatus inoculation yielded 75% more dry shoot than G. mosseae L1 inoculation.
- Recommendation The authors recommend further work on mycorrhizal ecology, endophyte selection and field inoculation methods.
