The growth of subterranean clover inoculated with 2 types of vesicular arbuscular endophytes was compared with that of uninoculated plants at 5 levels of applied superphosphate in a high phosphate-fixing soil. Plants were grown in both untreated soil and soil steamed to eliminate the natural population of mycorrhizal fungi. Marked increases in the growth and P content of plants inoculated with a fungus isolated in Western Australia were apparent at intermediate levels of superphosphate in both soils. This fungus, which resembles Glomus mosseae (Nicol and Gerd.) Gerd. and Trappe, was more efficient at increasing growth and P content of subterranean clover than G. fasciculatus (Thaxter) Gerd. and Trappe. The greater growth response of plants inoculated with the fungus resembling G. mosseae was associated with a greater amount of mycorrhizal roots. Responses in nodulation closely paralleled responses in growth. Non-mycorrhizal plants produced more dry matter at a given P concentration in tops than did mycorrhizal plants.
