Abstracts |
This study was conducted to determine the efficiency of autochthonous arbuscular mycorrhiza (AM, Glomus fasciculatum) and Rhizobium in terms of growth, biomass, nutrient status and nodulation of Acacia nilotica. The plant length was significantly increased with the dual inoculation of AM and Rhizobium. Dry weight of plants also showed the same response to the treatments. Dual inoculation with AM and Rhizobium resulted in better nodulation with significantly higher number and weight of nodules than that of Rhizobium inoculation. The values of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium were higher in plants, which had received the combined inoculum of AM Rhizobium when compared with that of the control. Data clearly indicated that dual infection resulted in better growth and nodulation response in A. nilotica. It is concluded that inoculum of G. fasciculatum and Rhizobium used in the present investigation is highly effective for A. nilotica. |
