Abstract

In Mexico the cranberries production is currently  expanding with the use of cv. Biloxi mainly although the  production of new plants in nursery presents a poor quality  of the propagated material. It is known that as Ericaceae,  the Vaccinium genus has developed a co-evolution  with mycorrhiza species, but the usefulness of these in  propagation in nursery is not yet available to recommend  an inoculation. This paper tested the colonization by  EndosporR, a commercial mycorrhizal complex and the  colonization by native mycorrhizae of Gaultheria sp. and  V. confertum in seedlings of cv. Biloxi. The colonization  only by Gaultheria sp. shows a positive effect on plant  height, leaves number, frequency and intensity of root  colonization. The commercial EndosporR product and  mycorrhizae from V. confertum were not effective in the  growth and colonization variables. The implications for  the propagation and organic cultivation of cranberries in  Mexico are discussed.
