TY - JOUR T1 - Effect of Ectomycorrhizal Inoculation at Planting on Growth and Foliage Quality of Tilia Tomentosa JF - Arboriculture & Urban Forestry (AUF) JO - JOA SP - 29 LP - 34 DO - 10.48044/jauf.1996.004 VL - 22 IS - 1 AU - J.

In spite of poor colonization of the roots by the introduced symbionts (Laccaria laccata, Paxillus involutus and Cenococcum geophilum), tree growth was stimulated and yellowing of leaves in autumn was delayed. These results are discussed in terms of biology of the symbioses and practical benefit of this technique applied to ornamental trees in urban plantations. ER -
