Abstracts |
A pot experiment was conducted to determine the effect of dual inoculation of Glomus mosseae and Rhizobium on the chlorophyll content of Vigna unguiculata leaves. Plants inoculated with G. mosseae alone or in combination with Rhizobium showed significant changes in chlorophyll a and b and total chlorophyll content. Total chlorophyll content was highest in dual-inoculated plants, particularly in 5-day-old leaves. It is concluded that dual inoculation with vesicular arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi and rhizobium species is effective in increasing chlorophyll content, leading to enhanced growth in legumes. |
