Abstract

Tecomella undulata (Sm.) Seem. (family Bignoniaceae) is a tree found in desert parts of India, and Arabia. The cultivation of high-quality seedlings is vital for establishing a successful plantation and the contribution of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) in the soil plays a vital role in the nursery phase. A study conducted during the periods of 2021-22 and 2022-23 scrutinised the effect of four distinct species of Glomus spp. (G. mosseae, G. intraradices, G. fasciculatum and Glomus hoi) on Tecomella undulata seedlings in AMF-inoculated soil. The inoculation involved applying of 400-500 sporocarps/kg of soil during sowing and the evaluation encompassed growth and survival parameters. Results revealed that among the 4 Glomus species, soil inoculated with Glomus fasiculatum at 180 days after sowing, significantly increased the root colonization percentage with (50.69 and 46.71 %) in year (2021-22) and (2022-23) compared to the uninoculated control. Additionally, seedlings exhibited significantly higher no. of spores per 100g of soil, when treated with (Glomus fasiculatum) inoculated soil, which was statistically at par with soil inoculated with (Glomus intraradices) at (103.67 and 98.65). During both the experimental year, in terms of germination percentage, root length and root: shoot ratio were found non- significantly with (44.45 %), root length at 360 DAS, (26.67 and 25.74) respectively, root shoot ratio at 360 days after sowing. While, plant survival percentage (30.63 and 25.41%) at 90 DAS. Whereas, at 360 DAS, collar diameter (6.14 and 10.07 mm), shoot length (33.36 and 32.19 cm), plant biomass (8.31 and 8.05 g), leaf area (196.29 and 185.46 cm 2) was observed significantly higher in treatment T3 (Glomus fasiculatum) which was statistically at par with treatment T1 (G. intraradices). It is concluded from study that Glomus fasiculatum were found best for growth and survival of seedlings followed by Glomus intraradices as compare to control.
