Abstract
A variety of pesticides applied preplant were evaluated in the field for their effect on development of vesicular-arbuscular mycorrhizae (VAM) on 'Florunner' peanuts 30 days after planting. Only the biocide sodium azide and the nematicide carbofuran caused significant decreases in VAM development; the effect of carbofuran was confirmed in the greenhouse.
