Root and Leaf Phenomenons of C3 Plants Infected with Vesicular Arbuscula Mycorrhizal

The utilization of VAM in plants generally uses powder dosage forms and not yet used dosage forms of sachet and tablet. The research aimed to examine the phenomenon of the roots and leaves of C3 plants infected with VAM in different dosage forms at the screen house scale. The research was conducted at the Agrotechnology Laboratory and Screen House, Faculty of Agriculture, Animal Husbandry and Fisheries, Muhammadiyah University of Parepare, using factorial design. The first factor was the VAM dosage forms, namely powder/control, sachet, and tablet dosage forms. While, other factors were the C3 plant species, namely Puero (Pueraria javanica)/control, mung bean (Vigna radiata), and red spinach (Amaranthus tricolor). The parameter observations on the percentage of infected roots, root volume, leaf area, and stomata density. Data were analyzed using variance analysis. The results showed that the VAM dosage form had a significant effect on all parameters observed with various root and leaf phenomena so VAM in a sachet and tablet dosage form can be recommended as a new dosage form for VAM application in the field.
