BARRERA BERDUGO, SILVIA EUGENIA  y  RODRIGUEZ LOPEZ, NELSON F. EFFECT OF ARBUSCULAR MYCORRHIZAL FUNGI IN Elaeis guineensis (Palmaceae) SEEDLINGS WITH HIGH PHOSPHORUS LEVEL IN THE SOIL. Acta biol.Colomb. [online]. 2010, vol.15, n.1, pp.105-114. ISSN 0120-548X.

The arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) facilitate the absorption of nutrients to the host plants. These microorganisms therefore, fulfill a fundamental roll in the operation of agroecosytems. The aim of this work was to evaluate the effect between native and commercial arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi and Elaeis guineensis seedlings in greenhouse conditions with high P level. Plants of three months of the age were put under four treatments: Native inoculate (NI), Foreign inoculate (FI), Mixture (M) and control (TA). It was evaluated total dry weight of the plant, root and aerial part dry weight, height of the plant, relative growth rate (RGR), mycorrhizal colonization and spores number. At 45 and 90 days after the transplant these variable were evaluated. An initial sampling dry mass was taking by to determine RGR. The data were analyzed through the ANOVA or Kruskall-Wallis according to the behavior of the data, followed of a test of averages of Duncan or a modified test of Tuckey for nonparametric data. Significant differences in the spores number between the treatments NI, FI, M and TA and between NI and M to the 45 days appeared. In the colonization mycorrhizal differences between the treatments FA and TA were observed the 45 days. To the 90 days between all the treatments with respect to the TA. Although the P level in the soil was high, also it was it the mycorrhizal colonization at the two evaluated times. Through time the treatment NI worked better in the soil edaphic conditions used in this experiment.
