Abstract: Pinus densiflora seedlings were inoculated with three indigenous ectomycorrhizal fungi (Cenococcum geophilum, Rhizopogon roseolus and Russula densifolia) in single-, two-, and three-species treatments. After 8 months, the colonization rates of each ectomycorrhizal species, seedling growth and the nutrition were assessed in each treatment. P. densiflora seedlings inoculated with different ECM species composition showed an increase in height and basal diameter and improved seedling root and shoot nutrition conce… Show more

“…In accordance with previous studies, our results show that Pinus seedling growth response to EMF increased with experiment duration (Lekberg and Helgason ) and inoculation of multiple fungal species (Perry et al , Dalong et al ). On the other hand, species mycorrhizal responsiveness decreased with soil fertilization (Browning and Whitney , Diaz et al ) and age of the seedlings when inoculated.…”

“…The affinity of the root system of the same host can differ among different strains, which indicates that the host has different degrees of mycorrhizal dependence on different strains [29]. G. viscidus can invade the cortical cells of the roots of seedlings more rapidly and form a symbiotic structure.…”

“…There is a wide range of environmental factors that may account for the different plant development and inoculum efficacy among nurseries, from abiotic (temperature, humidity, solar radiation) and biotic (competition or synergy with resident fungal and bacterial species). According to Dalong et al (2011), some species are more ecologically adapted to certain locations than others and to obtain maximum benefit from the mycorrhizal association seedlings should be inoculated with fungal symbionts specific to the host and adapted to the environmental conditions of the site. This is particularly important since the nursery environment is abundant in fungal propagules and other microorganisms, which are often aggressive, and only the use of tuned and efficient inoculants can overcome such competition.…”
