Inoculated plants had generally greater shoot dry weight and shoot phosphorus concentrations compared to the noninoculated plants. A great variation in dependency on mycorrhizal colonization was observed the banana cultivars. Cv. Williams showed the highest relative mycorrizal dependency (RMD) and cv. Poyo the lowest. For all the cultivars studied, inoculation with G. macrocarpum resulted in the highest RMD values. Both root dry weight and root hair lenght or density of the noninoculated plants were inverserly correlated with the RMD values of cultivars.  anutrition  aBanana  aGlomus sp  aRelative mycorrhizal dependency1 aPLENCHETTE, C.1 aSTRULLU, D.
