Abstracts |
A pot culture experiment was conducted to test the efficacy of mycorrhizal fungus (Glomus fasciculatum) for the control of root rot of mung bean caused by R. bataticola [Macrophomina phaseolina]. The dual inoculation of G. fasciculatum and R. bataticola increased the seed germination, yield per plant, and biomass production compared with the inoculation of R. bataticola alone. Mycorrhizal inoculation reduced the incidence of root rot by 52%. The efficient colonization of roots by vesicular arbuscular mycorrhiza facilitated the reduction of root rot incidence. Mycorrhiza-inoculated plants also exhibited significant increases in the uptake of N, P, K and Zn.. |
