  • Abstract:
  • An experiment was conducted to determine the effect of Mycorrhizal fungi inoculation on growth of onion grown under well watered and water stressed pot culture conditions. Onion (Allium cepa L.) seeds were planted in broadcasted. The data was collected at an interval of 15 days. Colonization of root with Arbuscular Mycorrhizal (AM) fungi occurred in under water-stressed and well-watered conditions, but the extent of AM fungi root colonization was higher under well-watered than under water stressed conditions. Regarding length of leaves, root, weight of bulb and diameter of onion after 45, 60, 75 and 90 days, data was collected. The AMF-inoculated plants had higher fresh bulb yield and mean bulb weight than uninoculated plants However, inoculation with AM fungi has improved onion bulb yield. The result indicates from AM fungi inoculation benefited more than that of especially under water-stressed conditions.
