Abstract
Summary The effect of an inorganic nitrogenous fertilizer on mycorrhizae development and the effect of a soluble phosphate source on the growth of non-mycorrhizal Pinus patula seedlings is discussed. An increase in soil N was found to reduce the incidence of mycorrhizae infection. The supply of a soluble source of inorganic phosphate resulted in the recovery of six-month old non-mycorrhizal seedlings and in a three-fold increase in height at 18 months. The possible use of soluble inorganic phosphate to produce a higher percentage of healthy seedlings in the nursery is discussed.
