Am fungal interaction and its beneficial effects on Crossandra infundibuliformis

Crossandra infundibuliformis is one of the perennial crop needs more amount of phosphorus for the initial root formation and development unfortunately most of the Indian soil lack phosphorus and there is a need for supplementing the phosphorus nutrition without causing soil pollution. Hence the organisms like AM fungi and phosphobacteria recommended increasing the availability of phosphorus to the plants. The present study of AM fungi and phophobacteria were inoculated along with graded levels of N, P and K fertilizers. The treatments of AM fungi and phophobacteria with 75 percent NPK + G. fasciculatum + phosphobacteria (T10) and 50 percent recommended NPK + G. fasciculatum + phosphobacteria (T13) recorded significant increase in growth values and yield when compared with control.
