to study the effect of different arbuscular mycorrhiza fungi on growth performance and water absorption efficiency of osteospermum, a factorial experiment based on a randomized complete block design was conducted in greenhouse. a total of 22 different species of mycorrhizal fungi in symbiosis with the plant studied in this experiment. the results showed that mycorrhiza fungus glomus mossea ca a...

in order to evaluation the effect of mycorrhiza and azospirillum on some characteristics of wheat cultivars in pitch stage, an experiment was conducted in the research station of shahid chamran university of ahvaz, iran during in 2012-13. the experimental design was factorial based on randomized complete blocks design with three replications. the treatments including of mycorrhiza fungi in thre...

potato is one of the most productive crops in agriculture and is a valuable food source in developing countries. mycorrhizal fungi involve a symbiosis with most of crop roots and leads to improve the crops growth and yield. in order to investigate the effect of mycorrhiza fungi species on yield of potato cultivars a factorial experiment was arranged in a randomized complete block design with ei...

Plants acquire phosphorus from soil solution as phosphate anion. It is the least mobile element in plant and soil contrary to other macronutrients. It precipitates in soil as orthophosphate or is absorbed by Fe and Al oxides through legend exchange. Phosphorus solubilizing bacteria play role in phosphorus nutrition by enhancing its availability to plants through release from inorganic and organ...

We compared the performance of mycorrhiza-inoculated and non-inoculated radiata pine (Pinus radiata D. Don) seedlings in two field studies. In the first study, above ground growth of 2-year-old container-grown trees was compared after planting in two areas that differed in water availability. Mycorrhizal inoculation significantly improved above ground growth in the 2 years after planting in bot...

Maize is one of the most important crops worldwide and is strongly dependent on arbuscular mycorrhiza (AM) fungi, organisms that form a mutualistic association with land plants. In maize, AM symbiosis enhances spike dry weight, spike length, spike circumference, and the dry weight and dimensions of the grain. Notwithstanding its ubiquitous nature, the detailed relationship between AM fungal col...

A study was conducted to identify the effect of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi AMF (Funneliformis mosseae) infection on growth of black pepper (Piper nigrum Linn.) rooted cuttings. This experiment comprised of three inoculum rates (75g, 100g, and 150g of sorghum root-soil mixture containing Funneliformis mosseae) per 2kg of soil as well as two cultivars namely Panniyur-1 and GK49. Shoot and root ...

In this study effect of irrigation managements including irrigation after 100 and 200 mm pan evaporation as normal and deficit irrigation respectively was investigated in Roselle plants. Effects of humic acid (including 0 and 4 kg ha-1) and mycorrhizal inoculants (including Glomus versiforme (GV) and Rhizophagus irregularis (RI)) were also studied on growth, yield and mycorrhizal symbiosis inde...
