Title

Other claims from this paper (5)
- Association Mycorrhizal enhancements of growth and mineral uptake declined as applied soil phosphorus rose above 12.5 mg kg−1.
- Intervention effect Without added phosphorus, VAMF colonization raised dry matter yield to the equivalent of 12.5 mg P kg−1 soil.
- Association Colonized root length decreased as soil phosphorus increased.
- Intervention effect Mycorrhizal shoots had enhanced content of other mineral nutrients relative to nonmycorrhizal shoots.
- Observation Enhanced shoot phosphorus, potassium and zinc contents in mycorrhizal plants were not accounted for by growth.
