Abstract:

An experiment was conducted to analyze the effects of arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi on the growth of ginger (Zingiber officinale Roscoe) under greenhouse conditions. Ginger plantlets were inoculated with 12 different AM species, and the agronomic characters, the rate of colonization, infection intensity and arbuscular abundance were analyzed in every 30 days after inoculation. The results showed the ginger plantlets inoculated with AM fungi grew better than the ones without AM fungi. The dominant strains of AM fungi were Acaulospora scrobiculata, Glomus reticulatum, Paraglomus occltum and Glomus mosseae according to the growth simulation and infection in roots. It suggests that the inoculation of the four dominant strains improved the growth, yield and quality, and further research is needed to develop dominant strains.

Key words: ginger (Zingiber officinale Roscoe), arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi, agronomic characters, infection rate, dominant strains
