Interação entre fungos micorrízicos arbusculares e ácido indolbutírico sobre o desenvolvimento vegetativo de plântulas do porta-enxerto de pessegueiro 'Aldrighi'

Abstract

The objective of this work was to evaluate the effect of the interaction between three arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMFs) species (Gigaspora margarita W.N. Becker & I.R. Hall., Glomus clarum Nicol & Schenck and Glomus etunicatum Becker & Gerd) and the rooting application of indolebutyric acid (IBA; 1,5 g.L-1) on the vegetative growth and shoot mineral nutrition on peach tree rootstock (Prunus Persica) seedlings cv. Aldrighi. Random block delineation was used, with eight treatments, four repetitions per treatment and ten plants per plot. The application of IBA didn't alter the vegetative development of the plants cultivated in absence of AMFs, in spite of having increased the amount of potassium. Glomus clarum and Glomus etunicatum increased the vegetative growth and the nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium shoot contents of the inoculated plants. Inoculated plants treated with IBA presented a increment in vegetative development and shoot nutritional contents compared to those cultivated in absence of IBA.
