Growth of Lycopersicum esculentum transplants inoculated with Glomus mosseae in low phosphorus soil was much better than that of the non‐mycorrhizal transplants. Mycorrhizal tomatoes had a greater dry weight and higher percentage of survival. Number of nodes, lateral branches and leaves per plant were almost doubled in mycorrhizal transplants.
