Consistency of Mycorrhizal Effectiveness on Maize Growth and P Uptake in Two Generations of Pot Culture Using Andisol-Based Media

The functional roles of Arbuscular Mycorrhiza (AM) in soils with P limitations are well documented. However, the protocol to produce effective AM inocula was still limited. This research aims at obtaining culture handling constraints for maize growth on Andisols. first experiment pot I propagate and examine effectiveness isolates by using a factorial completely randomized design two factors, A=media (A0: zeolite; A1: representative media=Andisol Tengaran; A2: typical media=a mixture Andisol Tengaran+Tawangmangu; A3: media+Bio-RP nutrition; A4: Inceptisol) = inoculum source (I0: no inoculum; I1: from I2: Tengaran + Tawangmangu; I3: 8 soil types), six replications. second investigated consistency mycorrhizal reculturing cultures generation II same composition respective media. combination treatments A1I3, A2I2, A0I3, A4I3 (AM I), continued A1I32, A2I22, A0I32, A4I32 II) showed consistently highest infectivity uptake Andisol-based media, comparison media zeolite Inceptisol respectively.
