Significant potential of arbuscular mycorrhizae fungi to increase on yield of shallot

Abstract

Evaluation of Arbuscular Mycorrhizae Fungi application on shallot (Allium cepa L. aggregatum group) is extremely important to instead of Phosphorus synthetic fertilizer. The experiment was laid out in randomized completely block design with three replications as block. The experiment consisted of Arbuscular Mycorrhizae Fungi (AMF) application, AMF and Phosphorus application, Phosphorus application and without any treatment. The experiment resulted that there were no difference on plant height and number of leaves among treatments. In total chlorophyll content, AMF application is lower than Phosphorus synthetic application. In contrast, AMF application was showed the highest of yield.
