Efficiency of Indigenous AMF Species on Growth of Soybean (Glycine max L.) under Varying Levels of Phosphorous in Saline Condition

Abstract

Abstract:The pot experiments were undertaken to study the relative efficiency of dominant AM Fungi (Glomus fasciculatum and Glomus heterosporum) recovered from natural undisturbed saline belt of Purna river sub basin. The pure inoculum of these species were treated individually and as a mixed inocula in combination with phosphoric fertilizers supplied as 25, 50, 75 and 100% (mg/kg P 2 O 5 /ha). The influence of AMF inoculation in different levels of 'P' fertilizer on% colonization, MIE % and P-uptake were calculated. Plevel of 75% was found to be better in compare to 100% and can be recommended as phosphoric dose for soybean plants.
