ISOLASI DAN IDENTIFIKASI JAMUR MIKORIZA ARBUSKULA (JMA)PADA RHIZOSFER TANAMAN MAKILA (<i>Litsea angulata</i>) DI DESA HATUSUA

The aim of this research was to identify the types of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (JMA) in the rhizosphere of Makila plants (Litsea angulata) and determine the morphological characteristics of each type of fungus (JMA) found. This research uses descriptive methods. Soil samples under the makila plant stands were taken randomly. Observation of spore characteristics was carried out by observing spore samples placed on a glass slide under a microscope. The results of this study showed that the identification of fungal types found 2 genera, namely Glomus and Gigaspora in the rhizosphere of Makila stands, then the results of calculating the number of JMA spores were an average of 980.25 spores per Makila tree and there was no real difference between the number of spores in the rhizosphere of each Makila tree.
