eanekaragaman Fungi Mikoriza Arbuskula (FMA) di bawah Tegakan Tanaman Jabon (Anthocephalus cadamba Miq.) di Pemalang Jawa Tengah

Abstract

Mycorrhiza is a form of symbiosis mutualism between fungi and the roots of plants. Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) has some functions, one of them is increasing nutrients absorption, especially P. The sample of root and soil used in this research taken from a stand of jabon plants in Pemalang, at the coastal and mountainous area. Observation colonization on plant roots carried out through staining roots and isolation of spores from soil samples is done by using the wet sieving and decanting method. Spores were identified by looking at the spores reaction after etched with a Melzer solution. The result of the research show that the biggest average of root colonization, is found at PML 2.2 is 73.33%. Where as the lowest average of root colonization is found at PML 2.5, is 46.89. In this research is found 3 type of Genus that is Glomus, Acaulospora and Scutellospora. Glomus is the most dominant and are found in all location. The highest density of spores population is at PNK 1. The growth of plants in a coastal area better than a mountainous region.
