    Efficacy of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi for drought tolerance in Swietenia macrophylla King. seedlings
    (Department of Tree Physiology and Breeding, College of Forestry, Vellanikkara, 2016) Lakshmy J Rajan; Santhoshkumar, A V
    An experiment was carried out to analyze the influence of four different levels of water stress ((IW (irrigation water)/ET(cumulative crop evapotranspiration)=1, 0.8, 0.6 and 0.4) and three different species of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF), viz; Funneliformis mossae, Glomus etunicatum, and Rhizophagus intraradices on the growth and development of Swietenia macrophylla seedlings in nursery. Seedlings that were irrigated daily and the seedlings not inoculated with AMF were maintained as controls. Drought stress was found to affect the growth and physiology of mahogany seedlings significantly.
