| description | Arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi are soil fungi which form
mutualistic associations with plant roots which often promote plant
growth through increased mineral nutrient acquisitions from the highly
weathered tropical soils. In the field, seedlings infected with mycorrhiza
often survive and grow better than the controls. Thus this study aims to
evaluate the effectivity of AM in affecting growth of two forest plantation
species i.e. Tectona grandis and Gmelina arborea seedlings. The effectivity of
these AM inocula were assessed using both quantitative and qualitative
analyses.
This study involved the use of two types of AM designated as MM
and 1M from different origin. The effectivity of these AM inocula were
initially evaluated based on standard protocols; spore count and MPN
bioassay. Following that, effectivity of these inocula were also assessed
based on growth performance of T. grandis and G. arborea. The seedlings
were grown in a controlled environment in the glasshouse for 21 weeks
and growth measurements were taken every three weeks. This nursery
experiment adopted a randomised complete factorial design of three
media and four inocula treatments with six replications. In addition,
isozyme analysis and root colonisation for host preference were conducted
to support this study. |
