Abstracts |
A pot experiment was conducted to determine the effects of single and dual inoculation of Glomus fasciculatum and Pseudomonas striata on the growth and nutrient uptake and content of Azadirachta indica. Dual inoculation of G. fasciculatum and P. striata significantly increased root infection, spore population, stem height, biomass, number of leaves, NPK content in shoots, and total dry weight, compared with the single inoculation treatment and control. Seed inoculation with P. striata together with soil inoculation with G. fasciculatum produced a higher NPK uptake than soil inoculation with G. fasciculatum alone. Results indicate that the combination of G. fasciculatum and P. striata can be used as a biofertilizer for the improved production of A. indica. |
