Abstract

The present growing concern about the negative effects of various chemicals which are used in plant production on environment is promo-ting the development of sustainable management practices. One such strategy is the better exploitation or management of microbes present in soil which contribute to soil fertility. The feasibility of using Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi to reduce the need for fertilizer application, particu-larly phosphorus was examined using Psophocarpus tetragonolobus (L.) DC. (Winged bean). The plants were grown in fumigated plots. The effect of mycorrhizal inoculation as well as Superphosphate application on plants was studied. Mycorrhizal inoculation influenced plant growth responses and the application of Superphosphate stimulated the effects of the fungus. Mycorrhizal inoculation increased dry matter, yield, protein content. Maximum growth response was recorded when plants were inoculated with AM fungi and also given P amendment.
