description This study evaluated the effects of inoculation with the arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi <i>Glomus mosseae</i>, <i>Glomus intraradices</i> A<SUB>4</SUB> and <i>Glomus intraradices</i> B<SUB>1</SUB> and two phosphorus levels (10 and 40 mg kg<SUP>-1</SUP>) on root colonization, plant growth, nutrient uptake and essential oil content in <i>Mentha piperita</i> L. The experiment was carried out in a greenhouse, in 4x2 factorial arrangement, in completely randomized design. At sixty days after transplanting, the mycorrhizal plants had significantly higher fresh matter, dry matter and leaf area compared to non-mycorrhizal plants. The inoculation increased P, K and Ca levels in the shoot which were higher under 40 mg P kg<SUP>-1</SUP> of soil. Plants grown with 40 mg P kg<SUP>-1</SUP> soil increased the essential oil yield per plant by about 40- 50% compared to those cultivated with 10 mg P kg<SUP>-1</SUP>, regardless of the mycorrhizal treatment. Among the studied fungal species, inoculation with <i>G. intraradices</i> A<SUB>4</SUB> and a high level of P significantly increased plant growth and essential oil yield, compared to the other studied mycorrhizal fungal species. In conclusion, inoculation of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi into peppermint plants is a feasible alternative to increase the essential oil production and reduce the use of fertilizers required to obtain economic production of peppermint under phosphorus-deficient soil condition.
