SYNERGISTIC EFFECT OF AM FUNGI AND AZOSPIRILLUM ON THE PHYTOCHEMICAL COMPOUNDS IN OCIMUM BASILICUM L.

Abstract :

Soil organisms particularly AM fungi are now being considered as biotic fertilizers and can be substituted for substantial quantities of chemical fertilizers. The biofertilizers may be of immense use in the cultivation of medicinal plants, as our resources diminish in near future and the costs of fertilizer sores, it is likely that these biofertilizers will definitely prove to be of economic advantage. The significance of AM fungi in medicinal crop production is widely appreciated and therefore the necessity of using AM fungi as a bioinoculant for improving crop production is increasingly realized, especially in medicinal plants. AM represents one of the nature’s best gifts to mankind in the conservation of arid soil to productive and fertile soil. They help in the acquisition of immobile ions viz., P, Zn and Cu and mobile ions viz., N, K, Mg, Ca, Fe and Mn. The mycorrhizal fungi produce enzymes, auxins, cytokinins, vitamins and other substances that increase rootlet size and promote longevity. They absorb and translocate water to the host. This enables the host plants to withstand drought and salinity. Surprisingly only a little information of VAM association with medicinal plants is available. The synergistic effect of Azospirillum lipoferum and Gigaspora margarita on growth parameters and productivity of Ocimum basilicum L. under pot culturing method was carried out. The plant growth response and the enhancement of nutritional and phytochemical compounds of the synergistic effect of Azospirillum and AM fungi of medicinal plants are an untapped resource and, therefore, they merit study.
