KEPADATAN SPORA JAMUR MIKORIZA VESIKULAR ARBUSKULAR PADA TIGA TINGKAT KEMATANGAN GAMBUT DI KAWASAN HUTAN LINDUNG GUNUNG AMBAWANG KABUPATEN KUBU RAYA
ABSTRACT: The mycorrhiza is a
microorganism which is symbiotic with plant roots, in which it helps plants to
absorb nutrients. The mycorrhiza had no effect on fertile soil, but plays an
active role in the less fertile soil, one of which is peat soil. Based on its
level of ripening, peat soil can be divided into three categories, i.e. sapric,
hemic and fibric. This research was conducted to find out the types of spores
of vesicular arbuscular mycorrhiza (VAM) and the density of VAM spores at three
levels of peat ripening in the area of Gunung Ambawang protected forest in Kubu
Raya Regency. This research was conducted for six months from November 2014 to
April 2015 in the Laboratory of Microbiology, Faculty of Mathematics and
Natural Sciences of Tanjungpura University. The soil sample was taken in the
area of Gunung Ambawang protected forest and the analysis of soil chemical
content was carried out in the Laboratory of Chemistry and Soil Fertility, Faculty
of Agriculture of Tanjungpura University. The isolation of spores was done
through a combined method of wet-sieving technique and centrifugation
technique. The results indicated that the spores found consisted of 6 genera
i.e. Acaulospora, Archaeospora, Gigaspora, Glomus, Paraglomus and Sclerocystis.
The spore density was the highest in sapric peat with 558 spores, medium
density in hemic peat with 514 spores, and the lowest density in fibric peat
with 393 spores.
