Co,spared with t h e s t e r i l e t r e a t m e n t s , the m y c c r r h i z a l e f f e c t was b e t t e r with u n s t e r l l e manures when t h e p o s s i b l e n u t r i e n t s o u r c e s provided by t h e manures were low. Introduction I t has p r e v i o u s l y been shown t h a t t h e e f f i c i e n c y of VA m y c o r r h i z a on p l a n t y i e l d always decreased with i n c r e a s e d amounts of f r e s h o r g a n i c manures (BRECHELT 1987). The r a t e o f t h i s r e d u c t i o n was n o t dependent only on t h e n u t r i e n t c o n t e n t s of t h e manures. In ol'der examine the r o l e of the n u t r i e n t s and the r e a s o n s f o r d i f f e r e n t i n f l u e n c e s of o r g a n i c manures, u n s t e r i l e m a t e r i a l was compared with t h e e f f e c t of t h e c o r r e s ponding amounts of the same manures in a s t e r i l e and ho~,Loseneous form.

To compare t h e i n f l u e n c e of s t a b l e manure, compost from s t a b l e manure and compost based on p l a n t remains ( v a l i a n t I) w i t h t h e i r c o r r e s p o n d i n g amounts in a s t e r i l e form ( v a r i a n t I I ) , the manures were s t e r i l i z e d ~20aC f o r 8 h o u r s ) and ground b e f o r e a p ~ l i c a t i o n , t h e manures were added a t 4 c o n c e n t r a t i o n s r ~ 0 , 100, 200, ~00 d r / h a .
