The effects of arbuscular mycorrhiza inoculation - Glomus mossaea, G. fasciculatum, G. macrocarpum, G. etunicatum, Acaulospora muricata and Scutellospora heterogama, on dry matter (DM) yield, and chemical composition of Sesbania sesban were evaluated under greenhouse conditions. The most effectives fungi on DM yields were S. heterogama and A. muricata, which provided increases of 155 and 140%, in relation to the control. Root colonization was affected by arbuscular mycorrhiza inoculation. Plants inoculated with G. fasciculatum, S. heterogama and G. mossaea had the highest levels of root colonization. The highest N contents were obtained with G. mossaea and G. etunicatum, while plants inoculated with S. heterogama and A. muricata exhibited higher N uptake. The highest P contents were recorded with the inoculation of G. mossaea and A. muricata, however the higher uptake were obtained with S. heterogama and A. muricata. This study showed that several arbuscular mycorrhiza fungi were effective in increasing DM yield, and N and P uptake of S. sesban. The most efficient species were S. heterogama and A. muricata. |
