This study was conducted in order to determine the effect of inoculation with Endorize-TA AMF and soil amendment with compost of urban waste; consisting of decomposed grass clippings, leaves, and wood chips, without sewage sluge, (Eko-Compost); on the growth and flowering of French marigold in the growing substrate polluted with Cd, Pb, and Zn. French marigold was found relatively tolerant to heavy metals in the growing substrate. Differences in growth of plants in the substrates unpolluted and polluted with heavy metals were negligible. The lowermost leaves of plants grown in heavy metal polluted substrates had necrotic margins. Mycorrhization with AMF did not improve the growth and aesthetic value of plants grown in the substrates polluted with heavy metals. Compost supply had beneficial effect on the growth and quality of plants grown in substrates polluted with heavy metals. Compost supply decreased the Pb and Zn contents in shoots of French marigold.
