Effects of Native Arbuscular Mycorrhizae Inoculation on the Growth of Argania spinosa L. Seedlings

The objective of this study was to assess the effects of native arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) harvested from two argan (Argania spinosa [L.] Skeels) stands in southwest Morocco (Bouyzakarne and Argana) on the growth of argan seedlings under nursery conditions. Results confirm the strong dependence of argan tree on native AMF for the improvement of seedling quality in nurseries. Native AMF from the two different argan stands differed in their efficiency; inoculum from Bouyzakarne was more efficient than that from Argana and could therefore be used in inoculation programs for the production of argan seedlings in forest nurseries.
