Effect of Industrial Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi (Ami Mycovita) on Sugarcane Production

This study assesses the effectiveness of Ami Mycovita, a commercial Vesicular Arbuscular Mycorrhizal (VAM) formulation containing Funneliformis mosseae on the growth of Sugarcane.In our study, we explored the effects of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi inoculation on two sugarcane cultivars, Co 0238 and Co 86002, each replicated three times.Through comprehensive assessment of sugarcane productivity, root colonization, nutrient uptake and soil properties, we discovered significant improvements across all parameters following AMF application.Notably, Co 0238 exhibited superior performance compared to Co 86002, suggesting varietal disparities in response to AMF treatment.Our research highlights the promising potential of AMF, exemplified by Ami Mycovit, in enhancing sugarcane growth and yield.With root colonization of AMF ranging from 84% to 107% across the two cultivated varieties, Co 0238 demonstrated higher yield parameters, resulting in enhanced overall sugarcane production.The innovative use of Ami Mycovita in sugarcane farming not only has practical benefits for increasing crop production, but also has a remarkable spore concentration of 1000 spores per gram in its powdered form.
