Abstract
In the present study, one such method known as the trap culture method is utilized for the mass multiplication of mycorrhiza in Cynodon dactylon, and it is found to be successful for the mass production of the mycorrhizal spores. Mycorrhiza increased P and K in soil following application of mycorrhizal spore preparation. The mycorrhizal spores improved plant growth which was manifested by vigorous growth in treated plants. Biochemical analysis of twigs of C. dactylon revealed that protein content, reducing sugar, PAL content, and Chlorophyll content increased but total phenol and total sugar content reduced. Root colonization percentage, spore quantification, and soil health increased in the treated sets as compared to the controlled sets. Thus, mass multiplication of mycorrhiza in the trap culture method improved plant health as well as soil health in an eco-friendly manner.
