ECTOMYCORRHIZAL SYMBIOSIS: POSSIBILITIES AND PROSPECTS

  • Chapter
Progress in Mycology

Abstract

The dependence of forest trees on ectomycorrhizae has been recognized (Hatch, 1937; Harley and Smith, 1983). The use of specific fungi to form ectomycorrhiza on forest tree seedlings in the nursery is known to improve performance after out planting. Trees of many species especially of conifers fail to establish normally without mycorrhizal association. Artificial regeneration of species that require ectomycorrhizae fail to regenerate in the absence of ectomycorrhizae.
