Order Of Magnitude

Five species of endomycorrhizal fungi (Acaulospora trappei, Glomus epigaeus, G. monosporus and two isolates each of G. fasciculatus and G. mosseae) were compared for their influence on the growth of four Medicago sativa cultivars (Du Puits, Ladak 65, Moapa, and Vernal). Order of magnitude of mycorrhizal enhancement of all cultivars was G. epigaeus > G. fasciculatus > A. trappei = G. mosseae > G. monosporus.
