The effectiveness of two arbuscular mycorrhiza species on growth of cocoa (Theobroma cacao L.) seedlings
A pot experiment was conducted to study the effectiveness of two arbuscular mycorrhiza (AM) species in enhancing growth of cocoa seedlings.

| description | A pot experiment was conducted to study the effectiveness of two arbuscular mycorrhiza (AM) species in enhancing
growth of cocoa seedlings. Cocoa seedlings of hybrid UITI X Na32 inoculated with Glomus mosseae and
Seutellospora ealospora either as a single inoculum or as a mixed inoculum and an uninoculated control were
grown in 2 kg sterilized Tai Tak series soil. The experiment was a single factor experiment arranged in a completely
randomized design, with type of inoculum as a factor with four replications. Of the four treatment used, plants
inoculated with mixed inoculum Glomus mosseae and Seutellospora ealospora gave more pronounced and
significant vegetative growth and higher percentage of root colonization than the other treatments. Maximum plant
height and total leaf area of43.7 cm and 1819.2 cm2 respectively were obtained from seedlings inoculated with mixed
inoculum compared to seedlings given either G. mosseae (37.9 cm dan 1007.2 cm2
) , or S. ealospora (32.3 cm and
1316 cm2
) and control (28.5 cm and 736.7 cm2
). The highest percentage of root colonization (72%) was aslo
recorded from seedlings inoculated with mixed inoculum followed by those given S. ealospora (54%) and single
inoculum G. mosseae (43%). |
