Efficiency of Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi in the Development of Cowpea
Journal Title: International Journal of Life Science and Agriculture Research - Year 2024, Vol 3, Issue 11
Abstract
Cowpea is an important and strategic agricultural crop for Northeast of Brazil, as it combines nutritional value, climate adaptability and soil quality improvements. The objective of this study was to evaluate the efficiency of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) communities on the growth and mineral nutrition of cowpea. The experiment was conducted in a completely randomized design (CRD), with three replications and involved treatments with inoculation of AMF references; Inoculation of AMF Communities from different land use systems; Absence of AMF inoculation. After 80 days of cowpea cultivation, plant growth and nutrition parameters, mycorrhizal colonization of the roots and identifications of AMF species were determined. Results showed that the AMF community from coffee intercropped with grevillea had results close to the RT, with a dry mass value (DMAP+RDM) of 4.31 g and phosphorus content of 7.60 g/kg-1. High species richness of AMF from the study areas was recovered after 80 days of cowpea cultivation
