The objective was to evaluate dry matter production (MS) and P and N uptake by wheat plants with indigenous and reduced (Benomyl applied) mycorrhizal colonization. The MS, P and N uptake was higher in treatments with reduced colonization at 32 days of growth. At 52 days this behavior was reverted. Results suggest that without fertilizer supplies, indigenous mycorrhizal colonization could contribute to wheat growth.
