Abstracts |
An experiment was carried out during September 2009 to December 2009 at Department of Agricultural Microbiology, Kittur Rani Channamma College of Horticulture, Arabhavi in Gokak taluk of Belgaum district, Karnataka to study the host preference of different AM fungi on fruit crops like fig, lime and passion fruit. The fig cuttings inoculated with Acaulospora laevis recorded significantly maximum number of sprouts at 30 (4.48), 60 (4.17) and 90 DAP (3.33). Fig cutting inoculated with Acaulospora laevis recorded significantly maximum leaves at 90 DAP (6.67). The lime seedling inoculated with Acaulospora laevis recorded significantly maximum leaves at 60 (2.33), 90 (4.00) and Glomus monosporum 120 DAS (5.33). The passion fruit seedling treated with Sclerocystis dussii recorded significantly maximum leaves at 60 (2.33), Glomus monohofis at 90 (4.83) and 120 DAS (7.67). The lime seedlings inoculated with Acaulospora laevis recorded significantly maximum height at 60 (2.22 cm), 90 (3.52 cm) and 120 DAS (4.30 cm). The passionfruit seedling inoculated with Sclerocystis dussii recorded significantly maximum height at 60 (3.12 cm), Glomus monohofis at 90 (5.08 cm) and 120 DAS (9.67 cm). The lime seedlings inoculated with Acaulospora laevis recorded significantly highest diameter at 60 (0.87 mm), Glomus monosporum at 90 (1.02 mm) and Acaulospora laevis at 120 DAS (1.45 mm). The passionfruit seedlings inoculated with Gigaspora gigantia recorded significantly highest diameter at 60 (1.01 mm), Glomus monohofis at 90 (1.27 mm) and 120 DAS (2.10 mm). |
