Abstract

Tomato seeds cv INCA 9-1 were inoculated with a Glomus fasciculatum fungus strains. Mycorrhizal (M) and non-mycorrhizal (NM) seeds were grown in a Ferralsol soil alone and soil was amended with municipal sewage sludge at 30 t.ha-1 rate. Pot experiments were carried out under greenhouse conditions and 30 days after seeding, treatment effects on plant growth were determined by means of shoot and root dry matter production and mycorrhizal infection. Our results show that studge and mycorrhiza effect on plant had different behavior. Studges enhanced shoot growth, whereas mycorrhiza promoted root development. The application of sewage sludge to soil tended to decrease tomato root colonization by Glomus fasciculatum after 30 days.
