Abstract
A process for the production of vesicular-arbuscular (VA) mycorrhizal fungi comprises growing a VA mycorrhizal fungus on plant roots in nutrient film culture. The resulting mycorrhizal fungus infected plant roots are of value in producing a mycorrhizal inoculum, especially for incorporation into a plant growth medium to enhance the uptake of nutrient by plants grown therein.
