The objective of this study was to measure the effect of inoculation with arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (Glomus clarum Nicolson and Schenck, Glomus etunicatum Becker and Gerd, Gigaspora margarita Becker and Hall and Scutellospora heterogama Nicolson and Gerd) in seedlings of blueberry cultivars Woodard. The experimental design was a randomized block with five treatments, with four plots per treatment and six plants per plot. Plants inoculated with G. margarita showed greater height and dry weight of roots. The treatments with S. heterogama and G. margarita showed the highest results for the green biomass of roots. The performance was related to the rate of colonization of roots, plants inoculated with G. margarita and S. heterogama, were 48.2 and 45.1%, respectively. For the nutritional contents, plants inoculated with S. heterogama, G. etunicatum, G. clarum and G. margarita provided higher levels of N and P in the shoots.
