This study aims to assess the impact of various ectomycorrhizal fungi on the growth of Pinus kesiya seedlings.
Inoculated Pinus kesiya seedlings with four ectomycorrhizal fungi using pure culture techniques.
Measured shoot height, stem diameter, root length, and dry matter production.
Conducted comparisons between inoculated and non-inoculated seedlings in nursery conditions.
P. tinctorius inoculated plants showed the highest growth in shoot height, stem diameter, and root length.
Significant differences observed across treatments, notably P=0.05 for various growth metrics.
Seedlings with P. tinctorius had improved survival compared to other treatments and controls.
