  abstract = {{T}he benefits of inoculation with six arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi ({AMF}) isolates ({G}lomus aggregatum, {G}. fasciculatum, {G}. intraradices, {G}. manihotis, {G}. mosseae, and {G}. verriculosum) were investigated on seedlings of {A}cacia senegal ({L}.) {W}illd., a multipurpose tree legume highly valued for arabic gum production. {M}ycorrhizal root colonization, plant growth and relative mycorrhizal dependency ({RMD}) were measured in {A}. senegal seedlings growing in soils from three geographical sites in {S}enegal ({D}ahra, {B}ambey and {G}oudiry) and two soil conditions (sterilized vs unsterilized) in the glasshouse. {T}he impact of inoculation on mycorrhizal root colonization and plant growth depended on {AMF} isolates, soil origins and soil conditions. {M}ycorrhizal root colonization and plant growth were increased in sterilized soils regardless of soil origin and {AMF} isolates. {T}he degree of {RMD} of {A}. senegal seedlings varied with soil origin, soil condition and {AMF} isolates. {A}. senegal showed the highest {RMD} values, reaching a maximum of 45 %, when inoculated with {G}. manihotis. {H}owever, in unsterilized soils, no significant effect of {AMF} inoculation on plant growth was observed despite significant root colonization with certain {AMF} isolates in {D}ahra and {G}oudiry soils. {T}his indicates that the most infective {AMF} isolates were not the most effective and unsterilized soils may contain effective mycorrhizal propagules. {I}n conclusion, it is important to consider the native mycorrhizal component of the soils before harnessing mycorrhizal inoculation programs for sustainable agroforestry systems.},
