Abstract
The beneficial effects of arbuscularmycorrhizal (AM) fungi application for the availability of nutrients and improved plant growth have been demonstrated in various greenhouse and field experiments. A greenhouse experiment was conducted to evaluate the effect of AM fungi and Mesorhizobiumciceri on shoot and root growth in Chickpea as a factorial arranged in completely randomized design (CRD) with three replications in a sterilized calcareous soil. Treatments included four mycorrhizal treatments (Glomusmosseae, G. intraradices, combination of G. mosseae and G. intraradices, and control) and two rhizoiba treatments (Mesorhizobiumciceri (Strain No. IC59) and control).Mycorrhizal treatments significantly increased the shoot and root lengths. All of morphological properties (fresh and dry weights of shoot and root, shoot and root lengths) significantly increased in rhizobial treatment. Co-inoculation treatments of plant with AM fungi and rhizobium significantly increased fresh and dry weights of shoot and root. Generally, inoculation with AM fungi and/or MesorhizobiumCiceri can increase plant growth, synergistically, in the soil of low nutrient conten
