The use of mycorrhiza has been considered an alternative to reduce the use of inputs in agriculture, due to it’s beneficial effects on the development of plants of agronomic, forest, horticultural and pastoral interest. The work aims to evaluate the production of seedlings of three passion fruit cultivars submitted to different concentrations of mycorrhizal fungus of the species Gigaspora candida. For this, an experiment was carried out in a randomized block design in a 3 x 4 factorial scheme, with three cultivars of passion fruit and four concentrations of fungus, with three replicates in each treatment. The following passion fruit cultivars were used: Gigante Amarelo; Rubi do Cerrado and Sol do Cerrado, each cultivar was inoculated with four densities of FMA (0, 100, 200 and 300 spores.plant-1) of the species Gigaspora candida. The plant height in the seedlings in the treatment with concentration 0 spores.plant-1 showed higher values compared to 100 spores.plant-1 and tend to increase from the concentration of 200 spores.plant-1 with the fungus Gigaspora candida. For the number of leaves, the cultivars Gigante Amarelo and Sol do Cerrado show a tendency to increase the amount in all densities of AMF tested. The cv. Rubi do Cerrado had the lowest number of leaves in all doses tested.
