Implication

Field trial shows 18% greater survival in ponderosa pine seedlings with ectomycorrhizal P. tinctorius, suggesting potential benefits for reforestation efforts.

Key Points

Survival of ponderosa pine seedlings inoculated with P. tinctorius increased by 18% over two years compared to control seedlings.
Significant increase in plot volume index observed due to the presence of P. tinctorius after two growing seasons.
Ectomycorrhizae established for two years on seedlings did not affect seedling height or stem caliper measurements.
Mycorrhizal treatment involved using vegetative mycelia in nursery soil, enhancing seedling performance in prairie conditions.
