  abstract = {{T}he growth response of {P}haseolus vulgaris to dual inoculation with arbuscular mycorrhizal ({AM}) fungi and rhizobia was studied in a low-fertility tropical soil in {M}adagascar. {T}wo isolates of {AM} fungi identified as {A}caulospora sp. and {G}lomus sp., respectively, along with a cocktail of ten {R}hizobium spp. strains were used to conduct a greenhouse experiment in a fully randomized block design with two factors. {T}he {P}haseolus vulgaris seedlings received one of the following inoculation treatments: no inoculation, separate inoculation with each of the three microbial symbionts (the two {AM} fungal isolates and the rhizobia), and co-inoculation with each of the two {AM} fungal isolates and the mix of rhizobium strains. {T}he results showed an additive effect of co-infection by {AM} fungi and rhizobia on plant growth and on the total {N} content of the plants, along with a synergistic effect on the total {P} content, the number of nodules and the mycorrhizal rate of the plants. {D}ual symbiosis with native strains contributes to the success of legumes, especially in harsh environments and low-fertility tropical soils.},
