ABSTRACT
The influence of mycorrhiza fungi inoculation on growth
performance of Gliricidia sepium, Acacia auriculiformis, and Leucaena
leucocephala was studied in a nursery experiment. The results obtained
indicated the dependence of Gliricidia sepium, Acacia auriculiformis,
and Leucaena leucocephala on mycorhizal symbiosis. Inoculation with
mycorrhiza significantly improved the growth performance of Gliricidia
sepium, Acacia auriculiformis, and Leucaena leucocephala. The height
growth increased significantly by 65% after only three months while the
nodulation and rootability increased by 70% and 50% respectively.
Inoculation with mycorrhiza did not however cause an increase in
nitrogen concentration in the plant tissues (stem, root and leaves).
