Abstract

Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) are root symbionts that are in symbiosis with the majority of plants and are generally found in terrestrial ecosystems. The propagation of AMF is influenced by many factors, including fertilization. This study aims to determine the increase in arbuscular mycorrhizal spore production by administering Nasa LOF. The research was conducted at the Plastic House of the Indonesian Mycorrhizal Association, Southeast Sulawesi Branch and the Laboratory of the Forestry Department, Faculty of Forestry and Environmental Sciences, UHO in January - April 2023 using a factorial Completely Randomized Design (CRD) with two factors, namely the first factor, the type of AMF including Glomus coronatum and Glomus claroideum and the second factor is Nasa LOF control, 2.5 ml/1000 ml water, 5 ml/1000 ml water. The results showed that the combination treatment of Glomus claroideum and administration of 5 ml Nasa LOF increased the number of spores in the 3rd month and spores after drying. Nasa LOF 5 ml is relatively applied for the production of Glomus claroideum.

Abstract

Andisols have very high P retention so that soil needs to be improved through the application of Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi (AMF) biofertilizers. The aim of the experiment was to determine the effect of AMF and rate of NPK on the root colonization, phosphate uptake, fresh weight of shoot and root of kangkong (Ipomea reptans Poir) on Andisols, it was also aimed to reduce the use of NPK fertilizers. The experiment was conducted in screen house Lembang, West Java. The experiment was arranged with Split Plot Design with AMF as the main plot (with and without AMF) and rate of NPK as subplots (0, 25, 50, 75, and 100% recommended dose). Results showed that there was an effect between AMF and NPK on root colonization, P uptake, fresh weight of shoot and root of kangkong. In general, AMF treatment had a significant effect in increasing root colonization, phosphate uptake, fresh weight of shoot and root of kangkong compared to the treatment without AMF. AMF and 50% NPK treatment showed the best effect on yield of kangkong, hence application of AMF has potential to reduce the use of NPK fertilizer by 50% and increase the productivity of kangkong in Andisols.

Abstract

Mycorrhizal plants are known to be only slightly attacked by diseases caused by fungi. This condition can be used as an alternative to control biological diseases in pepper plants. The study was conducted to explore the diversity of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi in pepper plants in nursery and production areas, which have the potential to be used as biological agents in controlling stem rot disease caused by Phytophthora sp. fungi. Samples were taken from three fields in Kedarpan Village, Kejobong District, Purbalingga Regency. The study was a survey experiment that took samples intentionally (purposive sampling). ata on the intensity of root infection to determine its diversity were analyzed using Analysis of Variant. Data from several observation variables will be analyzed descriptively, qualitatively, and quantitatively. Morphospecies identification was carried out on spores of Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi that were successfully isolated. Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi that were successfully isolated and identified from pepper plantations consisted of 5 genera of fungi, with morphospecies diversity in each genus. In the pepper nursery land, there were the genera Glomus, Gigaspora, Acaulospora, and Entropospora; the pepper production land of the Margo Utomo Farmers Group had the genera Glomus, Gigaspora, Scutellospora, and Entropospora; while the pepper production land owned by residents had Glomus, Gigaspora, and Entropospora. Glomus was found at all sampling locations. The level of infection or colonization of AMF in pepper plantations in the three locations observed showed a high level of infection (>30%). However, in each pepper plantation area, AMF did not significantly affect the intensity of root infection (F = 6.114; p = 0.003).

Abstract

Productivity of crops such as maize and sorghum is often constrained by low soil fertility, especially in terms of nutrient availability. Arbuscular Mycorrhiza Fungi (FMA) can improve nutrient absorption and support plant growth through a symbiotic relationship with plant roots. However, the success of FMA colonisation is strongly influenced by the quality of the growing medium, which is often contaminated with competing microorganisms that inhibit its effectiveness. To address this issue, this study aimed to evaluate the effect of sterilisation methods on the colonisation of FMA in maize and sorghum plants. The sterilisation methods tested were autoclaving and gamma radiation. This study used a completely randomised design with 8 treatment combinations and 5 replications. Zeolite media was sterilised using autoclaving and gamma radiation at a dose of 50 kGy. Results showed that sterilisation with gamma radiation produced a higher number of mycorrhiza spores and increased root colonisation in maize and sorghum compared to autoclaving. Gamma radiation applied to one sorghum seedling resulted in the highest spore count, while two seedlings in one pot reduced colonisation efficiency due to competition for nutrients. Gamma radiation was more effective in improving the quality of growing media and supporting mycorrhiza colonisation, ultimately enhancing overall plant growth and nutrient absorption.

Abstract

High concentration of salt in saline soil inhibits plants to grow normally. Good management of this soil may improve this land to be more productive. Utilization of indigenous beneficial soil microorganisms such_ as arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) isolated from saline soil has been known to be able to increase plant growth and mycorrhizal sporulation. This study aimed to explore indigenous AMF species in saline soil, in West_ Java. This research was conducted in salt impacted areas in the northern coastal area of West Java i.e. Karawang, Subang, Indramayu, and Cirebon. The method used for soil sampling is by transect with the length of ordinate point in every 500 m of the coastline. The number of AMF spores, mycorrhizal colonization, and mycorrhizal species identification were analyzed. The result showed that the number of indigenous AMF spores per 25 g soil were 109 in Karawang, 50 in Indramayu, 170 in Subang, and 100 in Cirebon. The average mycorrhizal colonization was 90 %. Glomus sp. and Gigaspora sp. were found to be dominant in those soils. This result implies that some mycorrhizal fungi can live and maybe had good adaptation in saline soil and from symbiosis activity with the plant. Therefore they are the potential to evaluated and used to improve saline land productivity in the future.

Abstract

The population and diversity of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) in soil vary greatly, influenced by biotic and abiotic factors. West Lampung Regency is a major prpper production center with distinct biotic and abiotic factors. These differences affect the diversity of AMF in pepper cultivation areas in West Lampung Regency. This study aimed to determine the differences in the population and diversity of indigenous AMF in the rhizosphere of pepper plants grown in monoculture and mixed cropping system. Soil sample were collected from monoculture and mixed pepper plantations. The AMF population in the samples was determined by isolating AMF spores from the soil using the wet sieving method. Trap cultures were established using soil samples from each plantation, using maize as the host plant, for duration of 3 months. The results showed that the AMF population in the rhizosphere of mixed pepper plantation was higher than that in monoculture plantations. Based on trap culture, 9 AMF types (S1, S2, S3, S4, S5, S6, S7, S8, and S9) were identified in mixed cropping system, while 5 AMF types (S4, S5, S6, S7, and S9) were found in monoculture plantations.

Abstract

Rajo Lelo Forest Park (TAHURA) is located in Tanjung Terdana Village, Pondok Kelapa District, Central Bengkulu Regency. This forest area is overgrown with various trees, including ectomycorrhizal host trees. A purposive sampling plot method was used on each found fungus to determine ectomycorrhizal species' diversity, abundance, and distribution. Five plots were used, each measuring 20 cm by 20 cm. The data collected from these plots revealed important information about the forest's ecological dynamics. We examined the samples to determine the types of ectomycorrhizal species and how they aided tree health and forest biodiversity. Fungi found in the plot were identified morphologically by comparing morphological characters to references. According to the results of the analysis, there are 118 individual fungi from nine species and seven families. The species diversity index is classified as moderate, at 1.61. Clitopilus sp. is 33.05% more abundant than any other ectomycorrhizal fungus. However, there are 0.85% fewer species of Scleroderma sp., Lactarius sp., and Macrolepiota sp. than any other species. The distribution index of ectomycorrhizal fungi in Rajo Lelo Forest Park is 1.34, placing them in the clustering category.

Abstract

The composition of host plant species and nutrient sources affects the success of mycorrhizal (Glomus sp) propagation in post-coal mining land. Plants that can be used as alternative hosts are cereals such as corn, millet, and sorghum. Vermicompost is an alternative source of nutrients to supply the nutrient needs of post-coal mining soil media. This study aimed to analyze the addition of vermicompost, the effect of different host plants, and the combination of both in the propagation of Glomus sp. The study was conducted in a greenhouse using a factorial completely randomized design with the first factor being the host plant and the second factor being the dose of vermicompost. The results showed that the addition of vermicompost increased the number of spores and the percentage of mycorrhizae colonization on the roots of each host plant with optimum yield. The combination dose of vermicompost (2 g pot-1) and millet as a host plant produced the highest number of spores of 4,880 spores pot-1 with root colonization reaching to 63.3%
