ABSTRACT = {We studied the changes in the number of leaves, roots and height on three cultivars of <i>Capsicum anuumm</i> (Jalapeño, Serrano and De árbol) after inoculation with <i>Glomus intraradices</i> FS18 and <i>Glomus Zac</i>-19. Results indicated that <i>Glomus intraradices</i> FS18 produced greater effects on height (6.12 and 5.63 cm) and number of leaves (10.66 and 5.84) in the cultivars “Jalapeño” and “De árbol”, respectively. On the other hand, <i>Glomus zac</i>-19 stimulated the number of leaves and roots in “Serrano” pepper (6.17 leaves and 15.31 roots) and “Arbol” (6.52 leaves and 26.32 roots). Our results demonstrate the capacity of <i>Glomus intraradices</i> FS18 and <i>Glomus Zac</i>-19 of stimulating seedling growth on the three cultivars of <i>Capsicum annuum</i> L. This demonstrates the potential for using arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi in the production of plants of agronomic interest.},
