Efficiency of Mycorrhiza Associated with Piper mullesua Plantlets under Acidic Soil Condition
Year: 2022
Type: article
Abstract: The investigation was carried out to study the efficiency of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi in up taking plant nutrients for the Piper mullesua Piper mullesua plantlets grown in acidic soil condition. In the present study, seedlings were infected with ten different strains of AM fungi and one without inoculation of AM fungi under controlled soil pH (4.5). Growth parameters and plant nutrients of AM infected plants were higher than those of non-mycorrhizal controls, which confirm the contribution of AM fungi. The two mycorrhizal fungal species G. macrocarpum and were most efficient in pH 4.5 and encouraged the growth of the plantlets . The correlation coefficient between plant G. hoi P. mullesua biomass and phosphatase activity was highly significant in case of associated with plantelts under acidic soil G. macrocarpum P. mullesuacondition which confirms potentiality of the fungal inoculums in acidic soil.
