The present study aims at evaluating the effect of native arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) inoculation at the nursery stage on the leaves yield and on damage severity of RKNs on S. macrocarpon under field conditions. Seedlings were grown in the greenhouse on sterilized soil with or without AMF
inoculation from which three were pure isolates (Funneliformis mosseae, Glomus Clarium, G. etunicatum) and five were mixture of indigenous AMF spores collected from S. macrocarpon field
(Dapaong, Kara, Sokodé, Kpalimé and Baguida). Six-week-old seedlings were transplanted to the field utilizing a completely randomized design with nine treatments replicated four times. Results showed that mycorrhizal colonization of S. macrocarpum inoculated and sporulation remained higher than those not inoculated. Inoculated plants produced higher biomass and the yield was 14-35% higher than those not inoculated. Each AMF inoculum resulted a significant reduction of the population density of
nematodes and severity of root galls and increased leaves production of S. macrocarpum compared to control. But, better yield has been obtained with mixture inoculum from Dapaong, Kara and Baguida. We conclude that AMF inoculation can be used for sustainable production of S. macrocarpum. |
