Fig. 20.2 Root colonization ability (a) <strong>and</strong> mycorrhizal effectiveness (b) of AMF populations<br />

(Glomus sp. GK12onAnagallis arvensis) with technically modified genotype composition<br />

(Selection factor ‘‘soil-pH’’, details see text). Bars: SD<br />

As mentioned above, strain or inoculum characteristics are stable minimally one,<br />

normally two or — depending on the desired effect — three multiplication cycles.<br />

Mass production of AMF means the production of up to several thous<strong>and</strong>s<br />

of litres of inoculum containing approximately 80,000 infection units per litre.<br />
