JAMUR MIKORIZA VESIKULAR ARBUSKULAR (MVA) PADA PERAKARAN TANAMAN BAWANG MEKAH (ELEUTHERINE AMERICANA MERR.)
ABSTRACT: Arbuscular vesicular
mycorhizae (AVM) is a fungus that has mutualistic symbiosis with plant roots.
Arbuscular vesicular mycorhizae (AVM) has ability to boost plant growth but
information regarding this types of fungi at Mecca onion (Eleutherine americana)
is still unknown. This study aims to determine the type of arbuscular vesicular
mycorhizae (AVM) and level of infection at rooting of Mecca onion (E.
americana). This research was conducted in Laboratory of Microbiology, Faculty
of Mathematics and Natural Sciences, University of Tanjungpura from July 2014
to September 2014. The analysis of soil sample was conducted at the Laboratory
of Chemistry and Soil Fertility, Faculty of Agriculture, University of
Tanjungpura. Isolation of soil samples employed two techniques, wet filter
chamber and centrifugation. The study found that as many as 277 arbuscular
vesicular mycorhizae (AVM) spores derived from genus Glomus (9 types),
Acaulospora (3 types) and Paraglomus (1 type). The observation of root
preparation indicated that structure of arbuscular vesicular mycorhizae (AVM)
contained spores and hyphae with the percentage of root infection was 12,5%,
and it is classified into low category.
