Abstract
Infectivity, measured as propagule numbers and root colonization rates, and effects on plant growth of indigenous vesicular–arbuscular fungal populations varied among soils from 10 different localities in Burgundy. These three characteristics of the populations were not necessarily related to each other nor to the physicochemical properties of the soils. It was possible, using relatively simple methods, to assess the potential for vesicular–arbuscular fungal inoculation in the different soils.
