dc.description.abstractThe utilization of symbiotic microorganisms as root inoculant is a practical method employed in sustainable agriculture. These microbial inoculants or biological fertilizers can be natural substitutes for chemical fertilizers that are known to have an adverse effect to the soil and the environment. This study was conducted to determine the inoculum potential (IP) of Arbllscular Mycorrhizal Fungi (AMF) associated with Mimosa pudica L. and Arachis hypogaea L. measured in terms of number of vesicles and hyphal entry points, root length and number of viable spores of AMF. Percentage of colonization rate by the AMF was also evaluated. Results showed that AMF associated with M. pudica L. had the highest inoculum potential and also comparable to the Widely used Mykovam. On the other hand, AMP associated with A. hypogaea L. gave the lowest inoculum potential. In terms of percentage colonization rate, Mykovam registered the highest, while AMF associated with M pudica L. and A. hypogaea L. were comparable. The result of the present study suggests that AMF associated with M. pudica L. can be a good source of high quality inoculum and thus can be developed as an effective biofertilizer.
