Abstract:
A study of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi in the rhizosphere of date palm was conducted in the palm groves of Tafilalet and Zagora (southeastern Morocco). The parameters considered are the root colonization of date palm, spore density and species richness. The average frequencies and intensities of colonization are 66% and 7.34% respectively. The spore density varies between 80% and 132 spores / 100 g of soil, according to the site.
Keywords:
Morocco, Phoenix dactylifera, rhizosphere, arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF), diversity, mycorrhizal parameters.
