Abstract:
Studies were conducted to determine the effect of ecto and endo mycorrhizal inoculums on seedling growth of four savanna tree seeds in Nigeria. Endomycorrhizae (Glomus mosseae) and ectomycorrhizae (Suillus luteus); both were used in crude forms. The relative endomycorrhizal dependency of the seedlings were maximum in Parkia seedlings by having up to 68%, 41.0% in Albizia, 35.0% in Tamarindus and the least was 21% in Prosopis seedlings. However, Tamarindus seedlings had the highest ectomycorrhizal dependency with about 55.0%, while 54.0% was showed in Prosopis africana. About 50.0% and 46.0% were shown in Albizia lebbeck and Parkia biglobossa seedlings respectively. Ectomycorrhizal inoculation greatly enhanced seedling growth and development of Prosopis Africana, Albizia lebbeck, Tamarindus indica and Parkia biglobossa had the highest significant difference (p<0.05) in leaf area at treatment. Endomycorrhizal inoculation also greatly enhanced seedling growth of Prosopis africana, Albizia lebbeck, Tamarindus indica and Parkia biglobossa had highest significant difference (P<0.05) in leaf area, leaf number, petiole length, stem girth and plant heights in the treatment. Treatment means were separated using least significant difference at 5% probability level. The results obtained in this study will foster valuable contributions in the areas of increasing the seedling growth of these savanna tree seeds through the incorporation of both ecto and endo mycorrhizae into the soil. These findings will also assist to increase seedling production for agro forestry purposes in Nigeria.
