Abstract

The receptivity of two peat based potting mixes to AM colonisation was studied with the almond x peach clone GF677 as host plant. Four fungi were assayed: Glomus mosseae, Glomus intraradices, Glomus sp (E3) and Acaulospora laevis. The response of the four fungi varied with the potting mix used, stressing the importance of the growing media on the functionality of the mycorrhizal symbiosis.
