Abstracts |
The study was undertaken to determine the effect of arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi, Glomus walkeri Blaszk. & Renker and some plant growth promoting rhizomomicroorganisms (PGPR'S) on growth, biomass, nutrition and content of secondary metabolites of Sphaeranthes amaranthoides (L.) Burm. under glass house conditions. Various plant growth parameters (total plant biomass, mycorrhizal parameters, shoot and root phosphorus), mineral content (potassium zinc, iron and copper) and secondary metabolites (total phenols, ortho di-hydroxy phenols, tannins, flavonoids and alkaloids) were determined and found to vary with different treatments. Among all the treatments plants inoculated with microbial consortium consisting of Glomus walkeri+Bacillus subtilis+Trichoderma viride performed better than with other treatments and uninoculated control plants. The results of this experiment clearly indicated that inoculation of S. amaranthoides with G. walkeri along with PGPR'S enhanced its growth, biomass, nutrition and secondary metabolities. |
