Use of VA Mycorrhizal Innoculum to Improve Growth of Forest Tree Seedlings in Fumigated Soil

Inoculation of fumigated nursery soils with VA mycorrhizal fungi improved the growth and quality of Russian olive, Sierra redwood, incense cedar and western red cedar seedlings in two West Coast forest nurseries. Experiments were used to identify superior fungal strains for use on acid, low-phosphorus soils. Commercial VA mycorrhizal inoculants, based on these strains, are under development.
