<![CDATA[The aim of this research was to investigate effects of Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi and compost on soil chemical properties under soybean. The research was conducted in Ude Village, Matangkuli Sub-District, Aceh Utara District, from June to November 2013. The experimental design was a factorial randomized complete block design with three replications. The first factor was Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi doses, consisted of 4 levels: 0, 20, 40, and 60 g Pot-1. The second factor was compost doses, consisted of 4 levels: 0, 75, 150, and 225 g Pot-1. Variables measured were pH value, available P, and organic C soil. The results showed that compost doses gave significantly effect on pH value, available P and C-organic soil. Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi doses increased the pH value, available P and organic C compared to without the fungi. There was a significant interaction between Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi doses and compost doses on pH value and available P. Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi dose of 60 g pot -1 and compost dose of 150 g pot-1 was able to increase the pH value. However, the best available P was found at Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi dose of 60 g pot-1 and compost dose of 75 g pot-1. ]]>
