Identification and distribution of arbuscular mycorrhizal spores in selected plant roots and their surrounding soil

Arbuscular mycorrhizas fungi (AMF) possess great potential in ecosystem especially in agricultural system as they can contribute towards the sustainability of the system. AMF have the ability to increase nutrient uptake, alleviate environmental stresses, and potential as bio-fertilizer. Thus, the ai...

Thus, the aim of this project was to isolate, characterize and identify morphologically types of AMF present in selected plants sampled around Kota Samarahan which consists of Cassava, Carica papaya, Cymbopogon, and Pandanus ammyllifolius, quantification of AMF spores, and analysis of soil physicochemical properties towards colonization of AMF.
