  • Abstract:
  • This study looks at how Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi (AMF), specifically Glomus mosseae, affect the growth and yield of onions (Allium cepa L.), a crop that is sensitive to drought and requires a lot of fertilizer. AMF inoculation greatly enhanced several growth parameters, including root length, leaf length, number of leaves, bulb diameter, and bulb weight. These enhancements led to increased onion output. Positive impacts were detected during both the autumn and winter growing seasons, indicating that AMF is adaptable to many climates. The findings emphasize AMF's potential as a sustainable approach for increasing onion yields, particularly in areas with limited water or high fertilizer demands, and provide an eco-friendly alternative for more efficient farming.
