Abstract
A trial was conducted to assess the effectiveness of Vesikul-Arbuskul Mycorrhizae VAM when applied with fertilizers. Experimental design used was a Complete Randomised CRD Factorial 2x2x5 treated with two levels of fertilizer two levels of VAM and soil organic conditioner. Five replicates were applied for each treatment and assessments were made at two weeks interval starting from the tenth week after VAM inoculation. Mycorrhizal inoculates were field grown using Setaria anceps as the host plant. Major VAM species found was Glomus spp. Plants used in this study were teak Tectona grandis chosen based on its commercial value and being identified as important species for plantation forest. Results of the study showed that interaction between root infection and plant growth indicated that VAM fungi lives symbiotically effective with teak which was known as mycotropic plant. The VAM inoculation resulted in better fertilizer use efficiency by teak seedlings. It also showed improvement in roots development and subsequently seedlings growth.
