A field experiment was conducted for four years with Kanva-2 variety of mulberry, pre-inoculated with Glomus fasciculatum and Glomus mosseae at various doses of single super phosphate to examine their effect on plant growth, leaf yield and quality. The pooled data for 4 years revealed that the effect of inoculation of mulberry with Glomus mosseae in combination with 30 kg P ha-l yr-I was similar for plant growth, leaf yield and leaf chemical constituents with the control, which received the full dose of phosphatic fertilizer (120 kg P ha-l yr-l) without inoculation. This indicated a possibility to reduce phosphate fertilization in mulberry cultivation by 75%.Silkworm rearing (moulting test) also did not reveal any significant difference in the leaf quality even after reducing phosphorus application by 75% in mulberry inoculated with either Glomus mosseae or Glomusfasciculatum when compared with control. The root colonization was significantly higher in VAM inoculation at the lower levels of phosphorus compared to uninoculated control receiving the full dose of phosphate fertilizer (120 kg P ha-l yr-l) suggesting that low phosphorus levels in soil promote better VA-mycorrhizal symbiosis in mulberry.

Sir Robert Keith Yorston (1902–1983) was an Australian business educator and practitioner. He was a prolific author whose textbooks were adopted by the professional bodies, technical colleges and universities both in Australia and New Zealand. A large part of Yorston’s career was devoted to the Australian Accountancy College. Yorston was at the forefront of the professional dialogue on the quality of financial reporting in Australia. He also advocated improvements in matters of corporate governance including gender equality and employee reporting. It is argued that many of Yorston’s ideas were ahead of their time, and there is a need for an awareness of his contribution to accounting thought and practice. This article is an acknowledgement of Yorston’s endeavours. It recognizes his contribution to accounting education, the profession and the wider community. In so doing, it traces an important chapter in the history of accounting education and practice in Australia.
