Effects of four host plants and different cultivation densities on the propagation of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi

Abstract

Abstract: To establish a propagation system for arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi, four different plants: maize (Zea mays), sorghum (Sorghum bicolor), white clover (Trifolium repens) and green onion (Allium fistulosum) were selected for this study. Two different cultivation densities were used to test the influence of plant densities on the propagation of an AM fungus (Glomus versiforme). Different plant species and different densities had a significant influence on the colonization and spore production of G. versiforme and on the biomass of host plants (P<0.05). The extent of AM colonization and spore densities at 10 plants per pot were much higher than at 5 plants per pot (P<0.05). Our studies suggest that maize, which has the highest biomass with high density, was suitable for propagation of G. versiforme.
