  abstract = {{L}ittle is known about the arbuscular mycorrhizal status of the ligneous plant {J}atropha curcas, an energy crop that raises high expectations worldwide. {W}e hypothesized that its early mycorrhization and growth could be improved by co-culturing it with {C}rotalaria retusa, a mycotrophic legume species. {S}oil samples collected from a 15-year-old {J}. curcas hedgerow were transferred to the greenhouse, along with soil sampled from the contiguous fallow field. {T}hree pot-culture modalities were studied for 3 months: jatropha alone, jatropha sowed after the clipping of 2-month-old {C}. retusa, and jatropha sowed next to 2-month-old {C}. retusa. {J}. curcas biomass was significantly lower when it was co-cultured with {C}. retusa in both soil types as compared to when it was grown individually, while its biomass following the cut of {C}. retusa was not impacted. {J}. curcas shoot {P} content was significantly improved only when both plant species grew in the hedgerow soil, and so was mycorrhization intensity. {A}dditionally, the composition of the {J}. curcas root mycorrhizal community was closer to that of {C}. retusa when using this hedgerow soil. {O}verall, {J}. curcas development was not improved by its association with {C}. retusa, but the soil cropping history appeared essential to their mycorrhizal interactions. {T}hese were favored by a soil mycorrhizal community shaped by multiple years of {J}. curcas monoculture. {I}mproved knowledge about these preferential association patterns with {J}. curcas is needed to improve its co-culture with compatible mycotrophic legumes.},
