The Effect of Paraquat and Napropamide Application on the Colonization of Seedling Roots by Mycorrihizal Forming Fungi

That mycorrhizae are beneficial in a variety of situations has been well documented. Beneficial effects of herbicide usage are also well documented. These two management operations come together in a very unique way in the forest nursery. This is the place of seedling inoculation which will apparently have a continuous impact on future forest productivity of major proportions. The nursery is also the epitome of the most intensive cultural practices ever applied to the forest seedlings. Herbicides are an important factor in this cultural operation and promise even greater use potential with restrictive budgets and increasing labor costs. However, this interactive potential is essentially unexplored.
