Abstracts |
It was envisaged to screen and select an efficient arbuscular mycorrhizal fungus (AM fungus) for inoculating Sida cordifolia for cultivation. The efficacy of ten arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AM fungi) on S. cordifolia (Medicinal Plant) was carried out in the nursery conditions. Plants grown in the presence of AM fungi generally showed an increase in plant growth and plant biomass over those grown in the absence of AM fungal inoculation. The extent of response of S. cordifolia varied with species of AM fungi inhabiting the roots. Considering various parameters and plant biomass, it was concluded that Glomus citricolum is the best AM symbiont for S. cordifolia compared to other fungi.
