Abstract
Determines if mycorrhizae fungi occur on Florida native range grasses. and to quantify mycorrhizae fungi in soil from rangeland. Range grasses studied included Andropogon virginicus and Aristida stricta. Root colonization by vesicular-arbuscular mycorrhizae (VAM) for all species ranged from 6 to 28 percent. Major VAM fungi species collected in this study were Glomus spp. and Gigaspora spp.Suggested Citation
