- Intervention effect VAM inoculation increased sunflower yield by 14% over the uninoculated control.
- Intervention effect VAM inoculation increased sunflower total biomass by 16%.
- Intervention effect VAM inoculation increased sunflower oil content by 3.1%.
- Intervention effect VAM inoculation increased sunflower phosphorus uptake by 30.5%.
- Association Root colonization and chlamydospore counts declined as phosphorus levels rose.
- Intervention effect Mycorrhizal plants at 38 kg P2O5 ha -1 had more biomass, seed yield and P uptake than nonmycorrhizal plants at 75 kg P2O5 ha -1.
- Intervention effect Mycorrhizal Morden at 38 kg P2O5 ha -1 had higher seed yield, oil content and biomass than nonmycorrhizal plants at 75 kg P2O5 ha -1.
- Intervention effect Mycorrhizal MSFH-8 at 56 kg P2O5 ha -1 had higher seed yield, oil content and biomass than nonmycorrhizal plants at 75 kg P2O5 ha -1.
- Recommendation The authors concluded that mycorrhizal inoculation can save 25% of the recommended phosphorus dose in MSFH-8.
