Abstracts |
Pot trial experiments were conducted under green house condition to study the response of Capsicum annum (Chilli) to the inoculation of two species of Glomus fungi. Response of chilli in terms of growth and biochemical components were recorded. Experiments conducted by inoculating the Glomus fasciculatum, G. mossae, Nitrogen (N) Phosphorus (P) Potassium (K) and un-inoculated control in four replicates. Chilli showed improved performance than un-inoculated one. The growth parameters, number of fruits, weight of the plant, number of branches, size of the plant, number of flowers and biochemical concentration viz. carbohydrates, proteins and reducing sugars was significantly higher in G. fasciculatum and G. mossae compared to NPK treated, while un-inoculated control showed least performance among the experimental sets. Significant gain in growth parameters and biochemical composition was recorded. |
