INFLUENCE OF MYCORRHIZA ON SELECTED TREE SPECIES: Gliricidia sepium, Acacia auriculiformis, Leucaena leucocephala
ABSTRACT
A nursery experiment was conducted to investigate the effect of mycorrhizal fungi inoculation on the growth performance of Gliricidia sepium, Acacia auriculiformis, and Leucaena leucocephala.
The results showed that Gliricidia sepium, Acacia auriculiformis, and Leucaena leucocephala rely on mycorrhizal symbiosis. Gliricidia sepium, Acacia auriculiformis, and Leucaena leucocephala grow substantially better after being inoculated with mycorrhizas.
Height growth surged by 65% in just three months, while nodulation and rootability increased by 70% and 50%, respectively. However, mycorrhiza inoculation did not raise nitrogen concentrations in plant tissues (stem, root, and leaves).
