Abstracts |
Sustainability in horticulture or medicinal plants requires balanced and functional microbial inoculation. Indigenous arbuscular mycorrhizal fungal strain Glomus fesciculatus was used as stem cuttings of Phyllanthus reticulata Poir. The result revealed mixed inoculum of Glomus fasciculatum significantly improved seedlings quality index biomass production of shoot and root. This ultimately influenced an increased plant height and decreased root/shoot ratio compare to non inoculated plants. An appropriate quality with native arbuscular mycorrhizal fungus could bring a good quality in the Phyllanthus reticulata Poir seedlings at nursery stages, with known quantity of AM spore population and encouraged root colonization of plants. |
