Abstract

Research was conducted in the Greenhouse
section of the Central Experimental Research Support (SCSIE),
University of Valencia, Spain. We used the tomato (Solanum
lycopersicum L. cultivar �??Amalia�??) as a model crop whose seeds
were disinfected prior to planting. Substrate a mixture of organic
substrate and vermiculite (1:1) was used. Crop grown under
controlled conditions of temperature and relative humidity.
Glomus cubense was studied and it was inoculated into seed
stage at 250 esporas/mL of water in a final volume of 800 mL.
The inoculation was performed once during experiment cycle.
At 15 days of cultivation positions germinated were
transplanted to pots containing organic substrate conical,
vermiculite, and silica sand (1:2:1). Two treatments were studied
following a completely randomized design: uninoculated
control and inoculated to a total of 30 pots for each treatment.
Evaluations were performed every 15 days until the flowering
stage of cultivation and development indicators were evaluated
vegetative and mycorrhizal functioning. Results showed
capillary AMF inoculation in tomato plants under was effective
as indicators studied by controlled conditions.
