ABSTRACT
The purpose of our study was to determine the effect of microirrigation and organic fertilization on the
vitality of Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) seedlings and their mycorrhizal structure, as well as the occurrence
of soil mites (Acari) after treatment of edaphon inoculation. Nursery experiments were carried out
in 2003-05. It was found that studied factors influenced seedling vigour, mycorrhizal colonization, soil
properties and the occurrence of mites.
