Biochemical Changes in Acacia senegal due to Bioinnoculants

In a controlled pot experiment, agroforestry legume trees Acacia senegal (L.) Willd. seedlings were inoculated with different bioinnoculants like Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungal species and plant growth promoting rhizobacteria, which were isolated by extraction from the rhizosphere soil of Acacia senegal from different localities of western Rajasthan and was evaluated for enhancement of biochemical parameters mainly Peroxidase (PRO) and Polyphenol oxidase (PPO) activities. The considerable increase in PRO and PPO by bioinnoculants may be significant in protecting this tree from attacking pathogens. All bioinnoculants show beneficial effect; while the dual combination of both G. fasciculatum and Rhizobium being the most promoting of all biochemical parameters.
