Abstract
Abstract To determine possible interactions between effects of mycorrhiza and groundcover, micropropagated plants of Mailing 26 (M26) apple ( Malus domestica Borkh.) rootstock were subjected to a factorial arrangement of the following 3 treatments: mycorrhizal inoculation, presence or absence of a grass, and low or high fertilizer regime. There were no interactions of grass with inoculation apparent for any measure of apple growth, except for the number of apple root laterals, which was decreased by the grass. A 3-way interaction for apple plant concentrations of P, K, Ca, Mg, Cu, and Zn was due primarily to decreased concentrations of these elements under conditions of high fertility with mycorrhiza in the absence of the grass. The B concentration of inoculated apple plants also was decreased in the absence of the grass.
