Strawberries ( Fragaria × ananassa Duch. cv. Hood) were grown at three levels of soil P and inoculated with either Glomus fasciculatus (Thaxter sensu Gerd.) Gerd. & Trappe or Gigaspora calospora (Nicol. & Gerd.) Gerd. & Trappe mycorrhizal fungus. P and N concentration in the aerial part of inoculated plants were higher than in controls; highest concentrations were found in plants inoculated with Glomus fasciculatus. Inoculation with this fungus also resulted in the greatest length of mycorrhizal roots and the highest percentage of total root length infected.
