EVALUATING THE EFFECT OF VESICULAR – ARBUSCULAR MYCORRHIZAE ON TOMATO (Lycopersicon Esculentum......

By increasing productivity and quality, vesicular arbuscular mycorrhizal (VAM) fungi have the potential to improve the sustainability of tomato production. The study's goal was to see how two different concentrations of commercially available VAM affected the development and fruit output of two tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum Mill.) types in the greenhouse. The experiment had six treatments and three replications and was set up as a randomised factorial block design with two independent components. Two tomato types, hybrid 61 and hybrid 501, were used, as well as two VAM doses of 2.5 and 10 g/plant. Biomass was measured twice: once at the start of the experiment and again at the end. Once a week, plant height and stem thickness were measured. Only the first two harvest times were documented for the number and weight of fruits per plant in the production. The three-way ANOVA was used to statistically examine the data. The VAM fungi had a favourable effect on the output of both types and the plants that had been reproduced earlier, according to the results of this experiment. The two concentrations of VAM inoculum employed had no significant difference in output (P =.37).
