Selection of an efficient inoculant VA mycorrhizal fungus for Leucaena

Seven VA myccorhizal fungi were screened for symbiotic response with four Hawaiian giant cultivars, K8, K28, K67 and K72 of Leucaena leucocephala. Of the seven fungi, three were promising ones from a preliminary screening trial conducted earlier with fungi obtained from different parts of the world,...

Description
Summary:Seven VA myccorhizal fungi were screened for symbiotic response with four Hawaiian giant cultivars, K8, K28, K67 and K72 of Leucaena leucocephala. Of the seven fungi, three were promising ones from a preliminary screening trial conducted earlier with fungi obtained from different parts of the world, and the other four were local isolates obtained from the rhizosphere of leucaena. A local isolate of Glomus mosseae was found to be the best mycorrhizal fungus for inoculation of leucaena in order to obtain healthy, vigorously growing seedlings.
