Summary The effect of inoculation of Hebeloma sp. on the growth of Norway spruce ( Picea abies ) seedlings was studied, in a controlled environment, with soil samples naturally infested by Pythium spp., Fusarium spp. and Rhizoctonia solani , and with samples of soil in which the pathogens had been controlled by solarization. The best results were obtained in solarized soil, but mycorrhizae also enhanced plant growth in the presence of the whole soil‐borne mycoflora. The combined use of inoeulation of a mycorrhizal fungus and solarization is discussed.
