Sugarcane Bagasse: A Novel Substrate for Mass Multiplication of Funneliformis Mosseae With Onion as Host

Abstract: A pot experiment was conducted to test the influence of sugarcane bagasse (fibrous waste left over after sugarcane juice) as a substrate for the inoculum production of Funneliformis mosseae in terms of AM root colonization, spore number and AM colonization pattern using onion as host plant. Their effect on growth performance of onion was also recorded in terms of increase in plant height, above ground fresh and dry weight, root length, root fresh and dry weight. The experiment was a 3×4 factorial design employ… Show more

“…Where compost made from sugarcane bagasse showed higher plant height at all treatments at doses of 10, 20 and 30 tons haG 1 at all observation times from 7-35 DAT. Similar results were also found in research, which showed that the application of compost derived from sugarcane bagasse waste resulted in an increase in plant height in Phaseolus vulgaris 5 .…”

“…18 SCB powder was kept in desiccators until the further experiments for soil studies. 21,22 Different test samples were prepared by mixing SCB and soil in different ratios like B 1 -2%, B 2 -5%, B 3 -10%, B 4 -20%, B 5 -100% and C-0% was kept as control. Water content and ion exchange capacity of the soil samples were determined before and after mixing with SCB.…”

“…It is estimated a worldwide SCB production of 280 million tons per year [42]. Initial physical properties of SCB fibers such as total porous space (93.7%), total water availability (37.3%), apparent density (0.09 g cm −3 ) and high capacity of water retention (699 mL L −1 ) make it a good candidate to form a compost for soil-free substrates [43]. Additionally, during sugarcane juice clarification and filtrations, solid fibrous residues are also generated (FPM).…”
