Effect of microscopic green algae and mycorrhizal fungi on some growth parameters of plant Xanthium strumarium L.

Abstract

Studies on the effect of microscopic green algae (pp. Chlorella, Scenedesmus) and mycorrhizal fungi (pp. Claroideoglomus, Rhizophagus) on some growth parameters (height, wet and dry weight of above-ground and below-ground parts) plant Xanthium strumarium L. showed, that both of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi and green algae have a positive effect on plant growth. In this case, the maximum growth of X. strumarium L. was observed at combined application a suspension of algae and mycorrhizal fungi. Separate application of inoculum fungi and algae suspensions showed that X. strumarium L. plants in making algae evolved better than when making mycorrhizal fungi.
