Abstract

Four times higher nodule number was observed when Glomus deserticola (an arbuscular mycorrhizal fungus) was introduced into a soil-plant system as compared to the control inoculated only with Rhizobium trifoli. This symbiotic parameter was further enhanced by Yarowia lipolytica together with an increase in root mycorrhizal infection of about 14%. Soil inoculation with co-encapsulated R. trifoli and Y. lipolytica provoked a 10-fold increase in root nodulation and led to 55% mycorrhization of the test plant.
