Monitoring spread of Glomus mosseae through soil infested with Acaulospora laevis using serological and morphological techniques

The centres of 0.85 × 0.85 m boxes of steamed soil were inoculated with white clover ( Trifolium repens) seedlings infected with Glomus mosseae. The remainder of the soil was planted with white clover seeds inoculated with segments of root infected with Acaulospora laevis. Using serological and morp...

More Information
Summary:The centres of 0.85 × 0.85 m boxes of steamed soil were inoculated with white clover ( Trifolium repens) seedlings infected with Glomus mosseae. The remainder of the soil was planted with white clover seeds inoculated with segments of root infected with Acaulospora laevis. Using serological and morphological techniques it was demonstrated that G. mosseae successfully competed against A. laevis and spread through the soil at approximately 600 mm/yr. Phosphorus fertilizer applied to the soil was not observed to have any effect on the rate of migration.
