“…The same was observed by Antunus and Cardoso (6) in citrus plants. On the other hand, Sreenivasa et al (7) observed that VAM fungi did not mobilize more P from rock phosphate by the chilli plant. It seems that the mobilization of P from löw-soluble P sources depends ön the species of VAM fungi and symbiotic plants.…”

In a greenhouse pot experiment, maize was grown inoculated with the spores of the VAM fungi Glomus mosseae and Glomas multicaulis or non-inoculated. Low soluble ferrous phosphate (FePO 4 . 4 H 2 O) was added to the mycorrhized and non-mycorrhized maize. The fresh and dry weights of mycorrhized plants with added phosphate (P) were higher than in mycorrhized plants without added P or non-mycorrhized plants with added P. The amount of P in the soil samples from pots with mycorrhizal plants fertilized with P was evidently smaller than those in samples also fertilized non-mycorrhizal plants. The percentage of P was higher in tissues of fertilized mycorrhizal plants than in those mycorrhized plants without or non-mycorrhized plants with added low-soluble P. These results indicated that plants in VAM symbiosis mobilize P better from low-soluble P than non-mycorrhized plants. INTRODUCTIONPlants in the vesicular arbuscular-mycorrhizal (VAM) symbiosis are better supplied with P than non-mycorrhizal plants. VAM fungi increase growth of plants in the soil where P deficiency limits the growth of non-mycorrhizal plants (1,2).There are some reports that VAM fungi can mobilize from soil P which is poorly available or unavailable for non-mycorrhized plants. Perhaps VAM fungi synthesize and secrete organic substances-siderophores-which increase the desorption of P in labile soil P pools. With organic acids, VAM fungi can solubilize

“…VA-mycorrhizal fungi are associated with increased growth of many plant species, mainly through increased uptake and translocation of not only P but also other nutrients (Abbott and Robson 1982). In addition to P, VAM also help in uptake of Zn, Cu, Mn and Fe etc., (Sreenivasa et al 1993). Iqbal and Qureshi (1977) reported that mycorrhizal sunflower plants were taller, stouter, had more numerous larger leaves and bore bigger capitulum producing viable seeds than non-mycorrhizal plants.…”

“…High P levels in soil or P additions are known to reduce VAM colonization of roots and sporulation (Sreenivasa and Bagyaraj 1989). Studies have indicated that addition of an excess of readily available P eliminates beneficial mycorrhizal effects (Sreenivasa et al 1993). Generally, research work on the use of mycorrhizae has been carried out under controlled conditions.…”

The performance of two sunflower genotypes (Morden and MSFH-8) with and without VA-mycorrhizal fungi at three P levels (38, 56 and 75 kg P2O5 ha-1) in vertisol of Dharwad was studied to determine the effect of mycorrhizal inoculation on plant growth, yield and P uptake. The results showed that the VAM inoculation increased sunflower yield (14%), total biomass (16%), oil content (3.1%) and P uptake (30.5%) over uninoculated control. The percent root colonization and chlamydo-spore count decreased with increasing P levels. The total biomass production, seed yield and P uptake of mycorrhizal plants at 38 kg P2O5 ha-1 more than the non-mycorrhizal plants at 75 kg P2O5 ha-1. The biomass and seed yield of mycorrhizal plants at same P level were more than the non-mycorrhizal plants. Mycorrhizal plants of Morden at 38 kg P2O5 ha-1 and MSFH-8 at 56 kg P2O5 ha-1 produced higher seed yield, oil content and total biomass than non-mycorrhizal plants supplied with 75 kg P2O5 ha-1. The results indicated that, VA-mycorrhizal inoculation helps in saving 25 and 50 percent of recommended dose of phosphatic fertilizer (75 kg P2O5 ha-1) in MSFH-8 (single cross hybrid) and Morden (open pollinated variety), respectively.

“…Similar results for both growth and nutrient uptake were obtained by Sreenivasa et al . (1993) using half of the recommended dose of superphosphate for the crop: according to the authors, the increased levels of nutrients in inoculated plants led to improved growth and yield of the crop.…”

SUMMARYThe benefits of mycorrhizal inoculation on growth, yield and nutrition of plants are well documented. However, mycorrhiza use in pepper and sweet pepper crops (Capsicum spp.) is still rarely exploited compared to other crops of economic importance. The current paper reviews the main aspects of the association between arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi and plants of pepper and sweet pepper. It includes topics about the effects of AM fungi on nutrition, growth and yield in Capsicum spp., paying particular attention to AM fungi–pathogen interactions, responses to some environmental stresses, as well as biochemical and physiological aspects of AM fungi–plant interaction in Capsicum annuum L.
