Propagation conditions of bedding plants can eliminate or reduce the possibility of AMF inoculation of the root system during greenhouse production. Due to the ability of AMF to increase plant growth the effects of AMF and CO₂ enrichment on rooting and some physiological traits of geranium and osteospermum cuttings were investigated. AMF and CO₂ enrichment increased leaf number and fresh and dry weights of osteospermum shoots. Mycorrhization also significantly increased the length and fresh and dry weights of osteospermum roots formed in CO₂ enriched atmosphere but it did not affect root system developed in ambient atmosphere. AMF increased the length and fresh weight of geranium roots, irrespectively of CO₂ concentration, and dry weight of roots in CO₂ enriched atmosphere. Transpiration and stomatal conductance values were higher in inoculated osteospermum at higher CO₂ concentration. Mycorrhization and CO₂ enrichment increased photosynthetic activity of garden geranium leaves and this effect was connected with the increased ratio of variable to maximum chlorophyll fluorescence (F_v/F_m).
