Arbuscular-mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) offer numerous benefits to host plants including improved resistance to abiotic and biotic stresses. Although the majority of grasses in undisturbed natural environments form AMF relationships, less is known about mycorrhization of turfgrass species in maintained situations. The objective of this research was to determine the effectiveness of mycorrhizal inoculation on establishment of 'Dominant' creeping bentgrass (Agrostis palustris Huds.).
