Inoculation of apple seedlings with the mycorrhizal fungus Glomus mosseae significantly increased their growth in apple replant disease soil that was neither pasteurized nor fertilized with monoammonium phosphate. The application of Enterobacter aerogenes and peat suppressed the stunting effect observed in apple replant disease soil. These results suggest the potential of using G. mosseae alone or a E. aerogenes and peat combination for the control of apple replant disease.
