Abstract

Legumes may respond to non-rhizobial inoculants such as Arbuscular Mycorrhizal (AM) fungi either through an effect on plant growth or, in addition, through an effect on the function of the legume Bradyrhizobium symbiosis. AM fungi and Bradyrhizobium positively affected peanut plant growth yield and nutrients uptake in greenhouse and field. The performance of the AMF alone or in combinations with Bradyrhizobium strains was significantly better than that of the bacteria alone in terms plant height; top dry weight and root dry weight.
