The effects of arbuscular mycorrhizae (AM) Glomus mosseae and Acaulospora laevis on growth of six grape rootstock varieties and their infection by Cylindrocarpon species were investigated in a greenhouse experiment that challenged the mycorrhizal plants with a mixed inoculum of Cylindrocarpon spp Both species of AM had beneficial effects (P005) but greater root dry weights in Auckland (214; P005) G mosseae clearly has potential for improving health and growth of young grapevine plants
