Dear Sir

Once again I would like to thank you for sending us the sample of mycorrhizal-bacterial inoculum and I enclose the results of observation of plants, made two years after the inoculum was used:

The mycorrhizal-bacterial inoculum was first used in the Botanic Garden of the jagellonian University in Cracow in 2003. The first experiment was conducted on a group of 20-year-old rhododendrons, including Rh. dauricum. These plants were in a very poor condition, because for a few years slow growth, brown leaves and dead shoots had been observed. 2 years after using the inoculum the plants are healthy, growing at the annual rate of over 20 cm, the leaves are healthy, green and show no symptoms of any diseases.

The second experiment was conducted on the seedlings of Rhododendron, Gaulteria and Trochodendron. After using the inoculum all the plants were healthy and showed normal growth and no symptoms of any diseases.

I expect that we will continue our cooperation,

Yours faithfully
Maria Uzarowicz
