Abstract: 

Our study on arbusular mycorrhizal fungi of the strawberry plant was performed in various parcels (G, M and H) in the perimeter of Loukkos. The considered parameters were mycorrhizal colonization of strawberry roots, spore’s density and specific richness. In all the roots samples, the presence of various characteristic structures of endomycorrhizal arbuscular fungi was revealed. The intensity of mycorhization varied between 71 and 12 % in the three parcels (G, M and H). Spore’s density was respectively 52, 46 and 44 spores by 100 g of ground in parcels G, M and H. Four genera were identified: Glomus, Acaulospora, Gigaspora and Scutellospora. Genera Glomus spores were the most observed. The parcel with a strong mycorrhization shows a good vigor and a good phytosanitary state of plants.
