Abstract
The growth and mineral nutrition of eight local varieties of Sesame (Sesamum indicum L.) were evaluated in response to arbuscular mycorrhiza inoculation in a greenhouse. There was greater plant growth and better mineral nutrition in inoculated pots compared to non-inoculated controls. The varieties tested showed high dependence on arbuscular mycorrhiza. The degree of dependence was generally greater than 55% and was highly correlated with the fungal isolates and variety tested. It is evident that mycorrhizae fungi-based biofertilisers provide significant benefits to the plant and can be used to improve growth and yield in sesame.
