title: [Growth response of Broussonetia papyrifera seedlings to VA mycorrhizal fungi inoculation].
abstract: In an experiment with single inoculation (SI) and co-inoculation (CI) of three VA mycorrhizal fungi, i. e., Glomus mosseea (GM), Glomus versiforme (GV) and Glomus diaphanum (GD), the growth response of Broussonetia papyrifera seedlings in limestone area was studied. The results showed that after 3 months of growth, the aboveground-, underground-, and total biomass were increased significantly by the inoculation, being 2.49-8.19 times as much as the control. Treatment CI had the highest biomass, but the leaf number had little difference with the control. In SI, GD inoculation had the greatest effect; and CI was more effective than SI. The ground diameter, height, and total leaf area in CI were 1.5, 2.2, and 6.0 times as much as those in CK, respectively, and the root/shoot ratio in CI was the highest (0.446). There existed an interactive selection between host plants and VA mycorrhizal fungi.
