Mycorrhizal Fungi, and Organic and Inorganic Slow Release Fertilizers Influence Growth of Bush Morning Glory (lpomoea carnea subsp. fistulosa) Conference Paper uri icon

abstract

  • The use of arbuscular mycorrhiza fungi (AMF) to enhance the efficiency of slow-release organic and inorganic fertilizers during container production of bush morning glory was investigated. Uniform rooted liners of Ipomoea carnea subsp. fistulosa were planted into 9.6-liter pots containing a pasteurized soilless medium. Fertilizer treatments included an organic slow-release fertilizer (SRF) and an inorganic SRF. The greatest growth response occurred with the highest level of Osmocote colonized with Bioterra Plus.
