Studies on Glomus aggregatum with Allium cepa at Different Concentration of Soil Phosphate

K. Amutha, S. Shamini

Abstract: Mycorrhizal association benefits, both the fungi and the host plants. To study the assessment of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) association with the host plant in different concentration of phosphate, Glomus aggregatum spores were collected identified and multiplied in trap culture. Association of a Glomus aggregatum with host plants in 0.01 %, 0.02 % and 0.03 % soil phosphate concentration were used. The percentages of Glomus aggregatum association with Allium cepa were calculated. AMF association with Allium cepa at 0.01 % concentration was evaluated.
