Abstract: | Tubers of Coleus parviflorus were inoculated with spores of the vesicular arbuscular mycorrhizal fungus Glomus microcarpum. The spores had been suspended in a lignite slurry and stored in a refrigerator for 1–6 months periods. Inoculation took
place by soaking the tubers in the slurry for 3 h followed by drying in the shade, subsequent planting of such tubers gave
rise to nearly 100% infection even after 6 months of storage. |
