The objective of this work was to evaluate the development of soursop (Annona muricata L.) seedlings inoculated with arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMFs) cultivated with different doses of phosphorus (P). The experiment was carried out in a greenhouse with a completely randomized factorial design (4 x 4), with non inoculated plants (controls), three species of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi, Glomus clarum, Gigaspora margarita and native AMFs (Glomus macrocarpum, G. etunicatum and Entrosphopora colombiana) and four doses of P (0, 25, 50, 100 mg kg-1) with three replications. The seedlings were cultivated in plastic bags of 2 dm3 in a mix composed of non-sterilized soil and sand (2:1 v v-1). After 90 days, it was observed that AMFs inoculation promoted an increment in height and stem diameter, increased biomass and P content of shoot and roots, and K content in the roots of the seedlings in comparison with controls. The non inoculated plants did not respond to phosphorus fertilization, concluding that the inoculation with AMFs with phosphate fertilization increased growth and nutritional state of soursup seedlings even when cultivated in non-sterilized soil.
