Simazine treatments were applied during four consecutive years to the soil beneath the trees of a young apple orchard in southern Quebec. Following a one-year interruption in treatments, the population of mycorrhizal propagules (spores and sporocarps) in the soil under the tree canopy was quantified. Simazine diminished the population of mycorrhizae. The effect of simazine was linear and only Clomus species were found in the soil.
