Abstracts |
A pot experiment was carried out to determine the effect of 2 mineral fertilizers (superphosphate, and rock phosphate) and mycorrhiza on the growth of spinach [Spinacia oleracea], rafahaphons and Beta vulgaris. The mycorrhiza and rock phosphate increased the fresh weight of the roots and stems relative to mycorrhiza alone. Root colonization by vesicular arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi was suppressed by the addition of superphosphate, while addition of rock phosphate encouraged mycorrhizal root colonization. The roots of all crops studied showed vesicles-arbuscles, which was different for each crop, with the highest percentage achieved with treatment of mycorrhiza and rock phosphate. The mycorrhizal fungi is important for increasing P availability to such plants.. |
