Abstract
A technique is described which enables two people to produce 10 000 vesicular-arbuscular mycorrhizal fungal infested soil pellets per day for use in large scale field trials. Pot experiments showed these pellets to be effective in converting the roots of establishing white clovers to mycorrhizas. The results suggest that pellet size may have some effect on the ability of infested pellets to convert roots of establishing white clover to mycorrhizas.Keywords
