‘‘Imagination’’ <strong>and</strong><br />

‘‘Romance’’<br />

Glomus etunicatum<br />

Range of intended use Ornamental greenhouses;<br />

Desired mycorrhizal effect<br />

mycorrhization from January to March<br />

Shortening of the ‘‘st<strong>and</strong>ing period’’ of ornamentals in<br />

greenhouses, earlier flowering <strong>and</strong> therefore earlier sale<br />

Longer flowering under balcony conditions Underlying<br />

effect: quicker growth<br />

Care requirements after<br />

installed (water weekly,<br />

water once, plant<br />

protection etc.)<br />

Natural occurrence (where,<br />

how common)<br />

Temperature: 14–21 C; fertilizer: max. 2 g/l week of NPP<br />

18/12/18; use of diverse pesticides, sprayed <strong>and</strong> in the<br />

irrigation water<br />

Not relevant Cosmopolitan, not in<br />

sterilized substrates<br />

Habitat preferences Warm, moderate Very variable<br />

Strategy type/successional<br />

stage (stress-tolerator,<br />

competitor, weedy/<br />

colonizer, etc.)<br />

Potential ecological main<br />

factors under natural<br />

conditions<br />

r- <strong>and</strong> k-strategists r-strategist; strain selected<br />

for rapid colonisation;<br />

generalist<br />
