EMPLOYMENT OF FUSICOCCIN AND ENDOMYCORRHI ZAL FUNGUS GLOMUS-MOSSEAE (NICOL. ET GERD.) GERD. ET TRAPPE FOR BIOLOGICAL RECULTIVATION OF MELIORATED SULFIDE-CONTAINING SOILS

Field experiments on growth of alfalfa on meliorated sulfidcontainig s oils from brown coal mine area (Moscow region) were performed. It was found that the treatment of alfalfa seeds by fusicoccin prior to plant ing leads to the two times enhancement of the development of intra-roo t structures (arbuscules) of endomycorrhizal fungi. Joint employment o f fusicoccin and stress adapted fungus Glomus mosseae increases the al falfa green biomass in 1.8 times comparing to control.
