Successful Inoculation on Rattan Seedlings with VA Mycorrhizal Fungus

Daemonorops mergariate seedlings were artificially inoculated with Glemus epigaeum Daniels & Trappe.After one-year inoculation,the seedlings were measured.The results showed that the infection rates are 43.7%～81.25%,the growth of rattan seedlings was promoted,especially when inoculated with the fungus and suitable fertilizers together.All the number and length of leaves, root length, shoot biomass and root biomass increased to a certain degree.Shoot biomass increases evidently with 65.3% in comparison with the control.The statistic test indicate that there is obviously a significant difference between inoculation and control.Inoculation treatment shows that there is 1.13 times of P content inroot as compared with that in control.
