Abstract Addition of MnSO4 or MnCl2 to a fine sandy soil from South Australia had a negative effect on shoot growth and root elongation ofSolanum opacum in the absence of significant presence of vesicular-arbuscular mycorrhiza (VAM). VAM ameliorated the reduction of plant growth by Mn, even though mycorrhizal development was decreased. Mn inhibited infection of roots by a fine endophyte less than that by some coarse endophytes. High concentrations of available Mn inhibited growth of hyphae of VAM fungi from dried root pieces, a significant source of infection by mycorrhizal fungi in the soil used.
