Abstracts |
Arbuscular mycorrhizal dependency of Acacia melanoxylon R.Br. was determined under three experimental set up conditions viz, natural soils, coal mine disturbed soils and artificially inoculated conditions. Mycorrhizal dependency of the plant varied significantly with the type of soil and varied between 30 and 62 %. The mycorrhizal dependency of A. melanoxylon in coal mine disturbed soils could be correlated with the degree of disturbance of the soil. The maximum dependency (61 %) was recorded in 7 incline soil. Mycorrhizal dependency indirectly reveals the biomass response varied according to the type of inoculations. Glomus fasciculatum (Gerdemann and Trappe) inoculated seedlings have shown highest dependency followed by Acaulospora foveata (Trappe and Janos) inoculated seedlings. The extent of mycorrhizal dependency has shown a direct correlation with mycorrhizal colonization.
