The responses of soybean (cv. T202) to Vesicular-Aubuscular Mycorrhizal Fungus (VAMF; Glomus etunicatum) under 3 different phosphorus application levels (P1, 100mg P; P5, 500 mg P; P30, 3000 mg P/2 x 10(-4) a pot, 2.3 kg air dry soil) in an Andosol subsoil (Bray II-P 0.1 mu-g g(-1)ds.) were examined in regards to growth, VAM formation, acetylene reduction activity (ARA), N accumulation and P absorption at the growth stages of initial flowering, milk-ripening and maturing. Positive effects of VAMF infection on growth, P and N accumulation, and ARA were obtained,especially in the earlier growth stage, corresponding to the level of VAMF infection rates and infected root lengths which were higher in lower P applications (P1 and P5). In the initial flowering stage, significant stimulations of ARA and P accumulation in nodules were observed due to VAMF infection at lower P application levels (P1, P5), resulting in earlier N accumulation in pod-grain at the milk-ripening stage, however, accompanying steep decreases in ARA and nodule P concentrations at this stage as compared to non-VAMF treatment. Even under the 50% cut-off of light by shading from just before milk-ripening to the maturing stage, positive effects of VAMF on growth and N and P accumulation were found. Under the high-P application level (P30), VAMF infection affected soybean growth negatively in the milk-ripening stage, whereas in the final maturing stage, it brought about stimulative effects on dry matter production and N and P accumulations in pod-grain through maintaining ARA activity, maybe due to unknown factors except the improvement of P nutrition
