Mycorrhizal populations of sown pastures and native vegetation in Otago, New Zealand

Abstract: Vesicular-arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (Endogonaceae) were present as resting spores (6-1590/100 g soil) and as root infection (4')0-85% of corte" infected) at 34 of the 35 sites examined. They were most abundant under native scrub and mixed forest and least abundant under tussock grasslands. Their variable occurrence under sown pastures was attributed partly to their abundance under the preceding vegetation; it was not related to soil phosphate availability. Of the 10 species distinguished, the 4 most widespr… Show more

“…Thus, these results substantiate the hypothesis that not all combinations of host and endophyte have similar growth stimulating effects (Hayman, 1980), and this may be interpreted as a kind of functional host specificity or compatibility. Sukhada (1989) also reported G. mosseae to be more beneficial compared to G. fasiculatum in a glass house experiment where papaya (cv.…”

“…Populations varied considerably for the same crop at different locations." Hayman (1978) also concluded from a general spore survey of pastures in Otago that there was a large measure of ecological equivalence between Endogonaceae species. General surveys then are only useful for providing qualitative information.…”

“…Cooper and Tinker (1978) used 65 Zn to associate this with direct uptake of Zn by vesicular-arbuscular mycorrhizal (V AM) hyphae and subsequent translocation into the host. Further, it has been shown (Hayman, 1978;Tinker, 1980) that high levels of P can inhibit infection of roots with V AM. Hence, it is possible that increased P levels in the soil may lead to reduced Zn uptake via a reduction of the V AM infection.…”
