| Abstract/Description: | A field study was conducted to determine the effect of vesicular arbuscular mycorrhizal (VAM) fungi on growth and nutrient uptake of the drought-hardy legumes, clusterbean (Cyamopsis tetragonoloba (L.) Taub.), mung bean (Vigna radiata (L.) Wilczek) and moth bean (Vigna aconitifolia (Jacq.) Marechal). Nodulation, nitrogenase activity, percent root infection by VAM fungi, and the number of VAM spores in the soil were increased significantly upon inoculation. Phosphatase activity was enhanced significantly due to VAM inoculation. An improvement in dry matter production (20 to 38%) and grain yield (15 to 22%) upon inoculation was obtained. Concentrations of N, P, Cu and Zn in the shoot were found to be significantly higher in inoculated plants. However, in general, concentrations of K, Ca, Mg, Na, Fe and Mn remained unaffected. From the results, a positive interaction between Rhizobium and VAM fungi is evident under arid field conditions. All the legumes showed similar effects upon inoculation with Glomus mosseae and Glomus fasciculatum. |
