The objective of the study therefore is to determine the effect of Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) (Glomus intraradices) on the growth and yield of soybean (Glycine max L.). The experiment was conducted in a screen house where two varieties of soybeans (TGX 1448 and TGX 1951) were grown in 1 litre pods, filled with sterilized soil and three seeds were sown into each pod at a depth of 2 cm until germination, then reduced to one seedling. Different AMF dose (10 g, 20 g, 30 g, and 40 g) was inoculated at the time of seed sowing and non-inoculated pods as control (0 g). Various parameters were taken into consideration like plant height and number of leaves while shoot dry biomass, root dry biomass and yield attributes were taken at harvest. It was observed that the inoculated plants performed higher than the non-inoculated plants. Growth parameters such as plant height, number of leaves, shoot dry biomass, root dry biomass, and yield attributes increased with increase AMF dose. Therefore, it is concluded that AMF inoculation increase growth and yield of soybeans and can serve as biofertilizer.","PeriodicalId":509389,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Global Agriculture and Ecology","volume":"143 8","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141655966","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It was established under a completely randomized experimental design, six treatments were evaluated: T1; Bovine manure, T2; Sheep manure, T3; Cocoa shell, T4; 50% Bovine Manure and 50% Sheep Manure; T5; 50% Bovine manure and 50% Cocoa shell, T6; 50% Sheep manure and 50% Cocoa shell, with four repetitions respectively. The variables evaluated were major elements (N, P, K, S, Ca and Mg), as well as the C/N ratio, pH, MO, granulometry and EC. The results showed that the type of manure directly influences the quality of humus as a substrate, highlighting T2 with 0.486% in P. It is important to note that the origin, age and storage of the materials influence the mineral composition and part of the plant used, such as the cocoa fruit, which is a sink in K, reflecting T3 with 2.723% in K, 2.116% in N and 37.089% in MO above all treatments. Therefore, the choice of materials and their pre-composting processes must be adequate to feed the worms and some physical and chemical parameters required to obtain the quality and quantity of humus as a substrate, since an unexamined decision can reach to increase the mortality of worms by 100%.","PeriodicalId":509389,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Global Agriculture and Ecology","volume":"10 16","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141684280","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
