Summary

The effects of crop rotations involving two host (lettuce and lavender) and two non-host (cabbage and radish) plants on the development of mycorrhizal infection in host plants were studied in unsterile soil and in sterilized soil with or without rock phosphate and inoculated withGlomus mosseae. As in previous experiments, pre-cropping with non-host plants did not decrease VA infection in the host plants. On the other hand, pre-cropping with a host plant increased VA infection in the same or another host plant grown afterwards. These effects were noted irrespectively of rock phosphate additions and of soil sterilization.
