At 18weeks after sowing, inoculation with L. laccata reduced the incidence of post-emergence damping-off but differences weresignificant only in F. oxysporum treatments. Pinus pinea transplanted plants were used in late damping off assays, and onlyF. oxysporum produced significant damage. Inoculation with L. laccata did not attenuate significantly the virulence ofF. oxysporum. However, the percentage of mycorrhization did not reached significant level, so the amount of mycorrhizalfungus was insufficient for effective protection. Although very low percentages of mycorrhization were recorded in allmycorrhized treatments, and Fusarium occurrence significantly reduced mycorrhization, those levels have been efficient toreduce damage in F. oxysporum post-emergence damping-off assays. In short, pre-emergence damping-off was not found;only F. oxysporum produced significant damage on P. pinea seedlings and L. laccata reduced damage when the percentageof mycorrhization reached a significant level. These results have been compared with previous work on P. sylvestrisinoculated with the same mycorrhizae isolate and Fusarium pathogens.
