✦ Synopsis

Application . Vegetative inoculum produced by Sylvan Spawn Laboratories (now Mycorr Tech, Inc .) and machine-applied at a rate of 0 .16 liter/ml of soil produced abundant Pisolithus tinctorius (Pt) ectomycorrhizae (Pt index > 50) on pine seedlings . Approximately 0.6 to 0.7 liter of inoculum is required to treat 1,000 seedlings at a bed density of 270 seedlings/m 2 . Using current methods of application, spore inoculum in different forms will consistently produce Pt ectomycorrhizae but not in the amounts formed by effective vegetative inoculum .
