Seedlings development of peach 'Okinawa' inoculated with arbuscular mycorrhizal isolated from peach orchards and vineyards

This study aimed to evaluate the influence of the species of arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) Glomus clarum and Glomus etunicatum species isolated of peach orchards and vineyard on the vegetative growth, content of nutrients and carbohydrate contents on peach rootstocks cv. Okinawa. The experiment was conducted in a greenhouse, with a split-plot experiment, with 15 plants per plots and four repetitions. AM inoculation favored the absorption of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium, contributing so that the plants presented the largest answers in height, diameter, foliate area, fresh and dry mass of the aerial part, and carbohydrate contents, superiors to non inoculated plants. The efficiency of the symbiosis was bigger with isolated deriving of peach tree orchards, when compared with isolated deriving of grapevine orchards.
