Abstracts |
An experiment was taken up to study the effect of vesicular arbuscular (VA) mycorrhizal inoculation on the growth and development of Garcinia indica at the nursery stage. The VA mycorrhizal fungal symbionts used were Glomus mosseae, Scutellospora calospora, Glomus fasciculatum and Acaulospora laevis. The plant height, number of leaves per plant and plant biomass was significantly higher in the seedlings inoculated with VA mycorrhiza compared to uninoculated control. VA mycorrhizal inoculation also improved the phosphorus nutrition and inturn the root growth of the seedlings considerably over the uninoculated control. Among the VA mycorrhizal inoculated seedlings, the over all plant growth was better in the seedlings inoculated with Scutellospora calospora and Acaulospora laevis.. |
