Abstracts |
A study was conducted under greenhouse nursery condition on the efficacy of seven indigenous arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi in the improvement of growth, biomass and nutrition in the roots and leaves of Solanum viarum Dunal. Seedlings were raised in polythene bags containing soil inoculated with isolates of seven different indigenous AM fungi, viz., Acaulospora scrobiculata, Archaeospora trappei, Glomus aggregatum, Glomus fasciculatum, Glomus pakistanika, Gigapora margarita and Scutellospora persica. The seedlings rose in the presence of AM fungi generally showed an increase in plant growth, biomass and nutritional status over those grown in the absence of AM fungi. The extent of growth, biomass and nutritional status enhanced by AM fungi varied with the species of AM fungi inhabiting the roots and leaves of S. viarum seedlings. Considering the various plant growth parameters and nutritional status in the roots and leaves of S. viarun, it was observed that Glomus aggregatum was the best AM symbiont for S. viarum used in this experiment. |
