JAMUR MIKORIZA VESIKULAR ARBUSKULAR (MVA) PADA TIGA JENIS TANAH RHIZOSFER TANAMAN PISANG NIPAH (MUSA PARADISIACA L. VAR. NIPAH) DI KABUPATEN PONTIANAK
ABSTRACT: The growth rate of
banana (M. paradisiaca L. var. nipah) in three types of soil in Pontianak
district is very high. The plant growth is expected to be affected by vesicular
arbuscular mycorrhiza’s activity, a type of fungus that helps the process of
growth and absorption of nutrients from its surroundings. This study aims to determine
the Genus found in vesicular arbuscular mycorrhiza and percentage of infection
level in three types of soil planted with banana (M. paradisiaca L. var.
nipah). This study was carried out for three months from April 2014 to June 2014
in Laboratory of Microbiology, Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences, University
of Tanjungpura. The procedure in this study consisted of several stages, namely
sampling, isolation of spores with combination method, pour-wet filter
technique and centrifugation technique, identification and characterization, as
well as coloring and making root preparations with method of coloring. Based on
observation result at Genus spores of vesicular arbuscular mycorrhiza in
alluvial soil, Acaulospora, Archaeospora, Gigaspora, Glomus and Paraglomus were
found. Genus spores of vesicular arbuscular mycorrhiza can be found in peat
soil that contained Archaeospora, Gigaspora, Glomus, Paraglomus and
Scutellospora. In ultisol soil, Genus spores of vesicular arbuscular mycorrhiza
consisted of Acaulospora, Gigaspora, Glomus and Paraglomus. Observation result
on vesicular arbuscular mycorrhiza indicated that the percentage of infection
in alluvial soil was 53% (high), 41% (average) in peat soil and ultisol soil amounted
57% (high).
