    Effect of different arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi on growth performance of Melia azedarach in nursery
    (CCSHAU, Hisar, 2021-01) Gulab; Verma, R. C.
    The present study was carried out to evaluate the “Effect of different arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi on growth performance of Melia azedarach in nursery”. The experiment was conducted in the Nursery of Forestry Department, CCS Haryana Agricultural University, Hisar during 2019. In this experiment three different strains (Glomus mosseae, Glomus intraradices and Glomus fasciculatum) of arbscular mycorrhizal fungi were used for inoculation of Melia azedarach drupes and these strains were used in 7 different combination such as Glomus mosseae, Glomus intraradices, Glomus fasciculatum, Glomus mosseae + Glomus intraradices, Glomus fasciculatum + Glomus mosseae, Glomus intraradices + Glomus fasciculatum and Glomus mosseae + Glomus intraradices + Glomus fasciculatum. Among all the treatments the drupe treated with Glomus mosseae + Glomus intradices + Glomus fasciculatum was recorded to best with maximum germination percentage, growth characters (root length, shoot length, root: shoot ratio, fresh and dry weight, collar diameter and leaf area) and physiological parameters (chlorophyll and carotenoid content, photosynthesis, transpiration rate and stomatal conductance). In addition, sugar and phenol content along with nutrient contents (N, P, K, Mg, Ca, Fe and Zn) in soil and uptake in plants were recorded maximum in Glomus mosseae + Glomus intraradices + Glomus fasciculatum treatment. Mycorrhizal observations (root colonization percenatge and number of sporocarp) were also exhibited the similar trend as that of sugar and phenol content.
