COIRPITH COMPOST A SUITABLE MEDIUM FOR MASS MULTIPLICATION OF Glomus Fasciculatum

Abstract

An experiment was conducted to find out the best substrate for quick VAM fungi inoculum production. Different substrates viz, compost, composted pressmud, composted coirpith. vermiculite, perlite and vermiculite-perlite (1:1) were serceened in this study. The result revealed that composted coirpith was found to be superior in terms of infection percentage, extra- matrical hyphae and spore count. The finding indicated that composted coirpith could be employed as a substrate material for VAM fungi inoculum production.
