Effets de la double symbiose Rhizobium TAL 1147-Glomus clarum sur la croissance et la nodulation de Racosperma auriculiforme en République Démocratique du Congo
Abstract
Effects of Inoculation with Rhizobium TAL 1147'-Glomus Clarum in a Nursery on Racosperma Auriculiforme Growth and Nodulation in Democratie Republic of Congo. The efficiency evaluation of five vesicular-arbuscular mycorrhiza spp. revealed that the mycobiont Glomus clarum is suitable for the mycorrhizogene replanting of the Kinzono grassy savanna. This present study reports results of effects of its inoculation at the same time that the Rhizobium TAL 1147 in nursery on Racosperma auriculiforme growth and nodulation in this same savanna's soil. Compared to the individual inoculation (Glomus clarum or Rhizobium TAL 1147) and to the uninoculated control, the dual inoculation Rhizobium TAL 1147-Glomus clarum has improved significantly (P <0.01) the growth and the nodulation of this legume tree five months after the sowing. A such inoculation can be recommended for an effective implantation at large-scale of this specie in poor Kinzono soil in nitrogen and in soluble phosphore.
