Conselho Nacional de Desenvolvimento CientÃfico e TecnolÃgico / With the increasing of areas degraded by soil salinization process, is necessary to increase of agricultural investments to be able to reach a production acceptable. In order to reduce such inputs, studies of microorganisms involved in the production process are becoming more constant. The objective of this study was to evaluate the associations between endophytic fungi Dark Septate and cowpea plants when irrigated with water of different salinities, analyzing biometrics, gas exchange, nutrient content and accumulation of organic solutes in the leaves. Cowpea plants were grow in containers of five liters under greenhouse conditions and subjected to four different electrical conductivity of irrigations water (1.2; 2.2; 3.6; 5.0 dS m-1). Were used for the inoculation strains Bâ2 and 21W and treatments were as follows: F1 â plants that were not inoculated; F2 â plants inoculated with strains 21W and F3 â plants inoculated with strain Bâ2. during the experiment was measured gas exchange and at the end of the experiment the plant were collected and determinate the leaf area, shoot dry mass, root dry mass, concentration of the foliar nutrients and organic solutes, and was made the determination colonization of roots by the fungus. The salinity caused significant reductions in biomass, leaf area and leaf gas exchange, however, the presence of the endophytic fungi provided a large tolerance to the adverse effects of salinity. There was a larger accumulation of calcium, sodium, clore and phosphorus in cowpea leaves with increasing salinity and decrease in the leaves of nitrogen and potassium. The presence of the fungus in the plant provided a foliar phosphorus and nitrogen. / With the increasing of areas degraded by soil salinization process, is necessary to increase of agricultural investments to be able to reach a production acceptable.
