Abstracts |
The response of AMF inoculation on the survival and development of micropropagated Acorus calamus plantlets during acclimatization was studied. The plant height, plant spread, number of leaves per plant, leaf area were significantly higher in AM inoculated plants either alone or in combination as compared to uninoculated plants. This clearly demonstrated that dual inoculation with Glomus mosseae and Acaulospora laevis not only increased survival rates (93.4%) but also improved plant growth and development. |
