EKSPLORASI DAN IDENTIFIKASI MIKORIZA DARI BERBAGAI MACAM VEGETASI PADA LAHAN AGROFORESTRY

Soil fertility degradation has been accelerated by the heavy use of inorganic fertilizers for a long time, especially in agroforestry lands Sumbermanjing Wetan, Malang, East Java. This study was aimed to find out arbuscular mycorrhizae that can be used improving soil fertility. conducted purposive random sampling continued randomized block design with measured variables were basal area, canopy, number spores, percentage root mycorrhizal colonization, pH, C-organic, available P, litterfall, and types spores. The results showed most common type spore found Glomus sp. populations depended on vegetation commonly Albicia falcataria. pH land ranged from 5.1 5.4, organic carbon content 3.43 4.04%, P 7.7-9.9 kg P2O5 ha-1. Vegetation affected physicochemical biological properties.
