Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungus and organics substrates effect on bean plant morphology and minerals

Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) are obligate symbionts that require a host plant (tramp) and support (substrates) to be applied as bio-fertilizers in agriculture. The objective of this study is assess eight native AMF consortia semi-arid zones (C1-ART, C2-GEC, C3-PAR, C4-VIE, C5-CUC, C6-SAC, C7-SAB, C8-MUZ) their reproduction response three organic substrates: coffee pulp (CP), bovine manure (BM) sugarcane bagasse (SB) on bean Phaseolus vulgaris. Plant height, stem diameter, number leaves, root length, fresh dry biomass, mineral content were measured. substrates (CP BM) C5-CUC C8-MUZ increased total biomass considerably. After day 75 inoculation, colonization oscillated from 5.7% 46.1% C2-GEC C4-VIE; the greatest spores (201) was obtained CP substrate 100-g sample. N, P, K, Ca, Mg, Fe, Zn, Cu, Mn contents leaves signif icantly high (P ≤ 0.001). To conclude, inoculation had positive effects nutrient levels leaf with C3-PAR BM substrates, which produced better beans, making them biofertilization alternative agricultural crops.
