Abstract

The role of Vesicular Arbuscular Mycorrhiza (VAM) and rock phosphate application on production and nutritional value of centro legumes was studied. The aim of the study was to know the interaction of rock phosphate and VAM and to know the optimum dosage of VAM and rock phosphate on production and nutritional value of centro legumes. The experimental design was randomized block design. The treatments and rock phosphate levels was 0, 100, 200 and 300 kg ha−1 of P2O5 with and without VAM. The results revealed that VAM application increase the plant height and dry matter of centro legumes. The optimum dosage of Rock Phosphate was 200 kg ha−1 of P2O5.
