The first study examined the association of peanuts with autochthonous AMF, from soil samples collected in Rio Branco municipality state of Acre, in areas of this legume as a single crop, and intercropped with pasture and coffee, as well as in secondary and primary forest. The AMF species were identified, determined the spore density and the root colonization rates, and then calculated the indexes of diversity. The other experiments were performed under greenhouse conditions, assessing the peanut seedlings response to inoculation with AMF species. The second study aimed to select the AMF effective in promoting growth of seedlings originating from seeds, and rooting of stolons in polystyrene trays, in substrate of low fertility, without additional fertilizer. In the third, it was investigated the response of seedlings propagated by rooting of stolons in condition of increasing doses of phosphorus. In the fourth study, the goal was to select AMF species that could improve the peanut forage performance cultivated in consortium with Brachiaria decumbens. The AMF species used were: Glomus etunicatum, Glomus clarum, Gigaspora margarita, Scutellospora heterogama, Acaulospora morrowiae and Entrophospora colombiana. It was assessed, among other variables, the dry matter production of shoots and roots. The analysis of the autochthonous community of AMF in agrosystems with A. Pintoi, notably in the monocrop system, indicated that this legume was a good host of AMF species, being useful to increase the density of spores and diversity of these organisms in the agrosystems. The analysis of the AMF community in the pastures intercropped with A. pintoi showed that this legume helped to increase the density of spores and diversity of species of AMF in the agrosystems. AMF species of greatest efficiency in promoting growth and nutrition of seedlings of A. Pintoi originated from seeds were E. colombiana, G. margarita, G. clarum, and A. morrowiae. However, for the seedlings originated of the rooting of stolons in polystyrene trays and without additional fertilization, it was not possible to detect a benefit of the mycorrhization. Though, these seedlings responded to the phosphate fertilization, and the response was most pronounced when inoculated with efficient AMF. In the intercropped cultivation, the treatments of inoculation were beneficial for both plant components of the system, and the A. Pintoi plants colonized by G. Clarum were most efficient to compete with the brachiaria grass. / Este trabalho foi realizado na ?rea experiemntal da Embrapa Agrobiologia em Serop?dica - RJ, com o objetivo de avaliar a associa??o de fungos micorr?zicos arbusculares (FMAs) com o amendoim forrageiro (Arachis pintoi) em quatro situa??es de cultivo. O primeiro estudo avaliou a associa??o do A. pintoi com FMAs aut?ctones, a partir de amostras de solo coletado em Rio Branco, AC, em ?reas de monocultivo e de cons?rcio desta leguminosa com gram?neas e cafeeiro, assim como em ?reas de capoeira e mata. As esp?cies de FMAs foram identificadas, determinada a densidade de esporos e as taxas de coloniza??o radicular e, ent?o, calculados ?ndices de diversidade. Os demais ensaios foram realizados em condi??es de casade- vegeta??o, avaliando-se a resposta das mudas de amendoim ? inocula??o com esp?cies de FMAs. O segundo estudo teve o objetivo de selecionar os FMAs mais eficientes em promover o crescimento de mudas originadas de sementes e do enraizamento de estol?es em bandejas de isopor, em substrato de baixa fertilidade natural, sem aduba??o suplementar. No terceiro, foi investigada a resposta de mudas propagadas por enraizamento de estol?es a doses crescentes de f?sforo. No quarto estudo, o objetivo foi selecionar esp?cies de FMAs que melhorassem o desempenho do amendoim forrageiro na condi??o de cons?rcio com Brachiaria decumbens. As esp?cies de FMAs estudadas foram: Glomus etunicatum, Glomus clarum, Gigaspora margarita, Scutellospora heterogama, Acaulospora morrowiae e Entrophospora colombiana, sendo avaliada, entre outras vari?veis, a produ??o de mat?ria seca da parte a?rea e de ra?zes. A an?lise da comunidade de FMAs aut?ctones nos agrossistemas com A. pintoi, notadamente em seu monocultivo, mostrou que esta leguminosa foi uma boa hospedeira de esp?cies de FMAs, contribuindo para aumentar a densidade de esporos e a diversidade destes organismos nos agrossistemas. As esp?cies de FMA de maior efici?ncia em promover o crescimento e nutri??o de mudas de A. pintoi originadas de sementes foram E. colombiana, G. margarita, G. clarum e A. morrowiae. Por?m, nas mudas originadas do enraizamento de estol?es, nas bandejas de isopor e sem fertiliza??o suplementar, n?o foi poss?vel detectar benef?cio da micorriza??o. Entretanto, estas mudas responderam ? fertiliza??o fosfatada, sendo esta resposta mais acentuada quando foram micorrizadas com FMAs eficientes. No cultivo consorciado, os tratamentos de inocula??o foram ben?ficos para ambas as plantas do sistema e as plantas de A. pintoi colonizadas por G. clarum foram mais eficientes em competir com a braqui?ria.
