Improvement Soil Physic Properties and Yield of Chilli by Dual Soil Microorganism

Abstract

The aim of the research was to know the effect of Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi (AMF)
and rhizobacteria on the soil physic properties and yield of Chilli (Capsicum annum L.). A fieldpolybag trial had been carried out at 750 m above sea level using a randomized block design two
factors with factorial pattern and three replications. The first factor was the type of AMF (control,
Glomus sp, Gigasporasp, Acaulospora sp. Glomus sp+ Gigasporasp+ Acaulosporasp). The second
factor was the type rhizobacteria (control, Pseudomonas diminuta, Bacillus alvei). The results
showed that AMF and rhizobacteria independently did not influenced soil bulk density, soil water
content, and soil aggregate stability index. Gigasporasp increased harvest index and fruit fresh
weight.
