Summary

The growth of Huia white clover was followed in undisturbed and unsterilized soil cores containing a normal endomycorrhizal fungal population which had been inoculated with one of eight additional endomycorrhizal fungal isolates. Most of the endophytes significantly stimulated growth over filtrate controls at some stage in the experiment. Glomus mosseae, G. tenue and Gigaspora margarita produced large growth increments over a range of applied phosphorus levels. The inocula also contained a filtrable agent that was capable of reducing the growth of white clover.
