Abstract Fertilization in palm oil nurseries is an invaluable tending activity to obtain healthy and robust seedlings. This research aims identify the dose percentage level of inorganic fertilizer which can be reduced by applying mycorrhizae nurseries. The design used a non-factorial completely randomized design, as treatment factor was There are 5 levels treatment, namely P0 (100% standard + 5...

The presence of vesicular - arbuscular mycorrhizae in the roots of Kaempferia galangal is reported in the article.

Whole-plant and leaf nitrogen isotope composition are determined by the isotope ratio of the external nitrogen source and physiological mechanisms within the plant. Whole-plant isotope composition can reflect that of the nitrogen source when plant demand exceeds nitrogen supply. Uptake by mycorrhizae can cause the isotope ratio of the plant to deviate from the source. Intra-plant variation in i...

Mycorrhiza is a mutualistic association between zone surrounding the root [2]. Although a lack in growth fungi and higher plants [1]. Different types of mycorrhizae response to VA-fungi inoculation in unsterilized soil was occur, distinguished by their morphology and to a also recorded, this result has been attributed to the fact certain extent, in their physiology. These include the that nativ...

the effects of arbuscular mycorrhizae on water use efficiency and some growth characteristics of maize were studied at three water regimes. an farm experiment was carried out using a split plot based randomized complete block design with 3 replications. main plot was under water deficit condition (100%fc, 66%fc, 33%fc) and sub plot included application of two species of mycorrhizae, m1:glomus m...

Mycorrhizal enhancement of drought resistance of two woody plant species, loblolly pine (Pinus taeda L.) and rose (Rosa hybrida L. cv. Ferdy), occurred independently of phosphorus nutrition. Mycorrhizae tended to alter root morphology and carbon allocation patterns of shoots and roots. Increased drought resistance of mycorrhizal plants was in part attributed to drought-induced colonization by m...

BACKGROUND: Conversion of BLH wetland forests to agriculture is a primary cause of wetland loss in the southeastern United States (Figure 1). Restoration of BLH in abandoned agricultural fields, however, has had limited success. Low survival rates of planted trees are a consequence of several environmental factors such as water stress and herbivory. However, pilot studies of growth of seedlings...

The discovery of arbuscules in Aglaophyton major, an Early Devonian land plant, provides unequivocal evidence that mycorrhizae were established >400 million years ago. Nonseptate hyphac and arbuscules occur in a specialized meristematic region of the cortex that continually provided new cells for fungal infection. Arbuscules are morphologically identical to those of living arbuscular mycorrhiza...

Orchids have high economic value so that they are potential to be cultivated. The species most popular with people Dendrobium and Phalaenopsis. However, there major obstacles can affect orchid growth, namely viral infections. type of virus reported infect the is ORSV. This infection inhibit plant reduce flower quality marketability. There also symptoms in form mosaic, chlorotic, streak, necrosi...
