  abstract = {{A}rbuscular mycorrhizal ({AM}) fungi constitute promising biofertilizers for the deployment of a sustainable agriculture. {H}owever, the evaluation of mycorrhizal benefits in the field is poorly documented, notably in fruit tree orchards, and concerns exclusively growth performance and nutrition. {H}ere, we evaluated the persistence of beneficial effects of {AM} fungal inoculation on two jujube ({Z}iziphus mauritiana {L}am.) cultivars ({T}asset and {G}ola) inoculated in nursery conditions and subsequently transferred in the field until fruit production. {T}he growth-promoting effects on jujube observed in nursery was still maintained 18 months after planting, with significant higher rates of survival and an increase of fruit production for inoculated jujube cultivars. {N}evertheless, {AM}-mediated responses were dependent on cultivar. {N}o major disturbance of native {AM} fungal community was associated with {AM} fungal inoculation but a stimulation of {AM} fungal colonization is probable. {T}he use of mycorrhizal inoculation with the {R}. irregularis {IR}27 strain hold promise for the development of efficient jujube orchards under semi-arid conditions.},
