Ectomycorrhizal Status and Growth of Khasi Pine (Pinus kesiya, Royle ex. Gord.) in the Soils of Disturbed Land of Cherrapunjee


     

   Subscribe/Renew Journal


The ectomycorrhizal progagules in the disturbed land of Cherrapunjee were found to be very low, as reflected in the initial growth of Pinus kesiya seedling. The growth performance of the seedling inoculated with ectomycorrhizal ischolar_mains was significantly higher (P < O.05) than that of the non-inoculated (Control) ones. The use of selected ectomycorrhizal ischolar_mains, as inoculum in pine seedlings prior to plantation may be attempted for afforestation in this area.

Abstract


The ectomycorrhizal progagules in the disturbed land of Cherrapunjee were found to be very low, as reflected in the initial growth of Pinus kesiya seedling. The growth performance of the seedling inoculated with ectomycorrhizal ischolar_mains was significantly higher (P < O.05) than that of the non-inoculated (Control) ones. The use of selected ectomycorrhizal ischolar_mains, as inoculum in pine seedlings prior to plantation may be attempted for afforestation in this area.
