Abstract:

AMF-interaction has been proven very beneficial since decades in terms of higher yield, nutritional values, resilience against several biotic/abiotic stress factors, etc. Additionally, it is cost-effective so the AMF-plant interactions can lead to higher profitable business in commercial markets. The present study was conducted to examine the positive symbiotic development between selected strains of AMF (Diversispora celata, Funneliformis mosseae, and Rhizophagus irregularis) and vegetables (tomato, salad, and cabbage), along with the analysis of drought conditions in their symbiosis development. The plant height and leaves numbers were taken into the account as vegetative parameters of the crops. The combination of Diversispora celata and Rhizophagus irregularis appeared to be the best combination of strains and majority showed positivity. However, drought analysis also showed some positive results with specific cultivars such as, Albatros P.pozdani. In conclusion, Diversispora celata with Rhizophagus irregularis can be the most suitable combination for further studies, including drought stress conditions.
