Abstract

The aim of this work was to determine the influence of early inoculation of semi-woody olive cuttings (cv. Cornicabra), cultivated under mist propagation conditions, with arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi. A strongly positive response was seen to root inoculation with the three fungal species tested Glomus mosseae, G. intraradices and G. claroideum both in nursery phase plantlets, and in older plants grown in 5 L pots.
