Legume Arbuscular Mycorrhiza Interaction
Rhizobia and arbuscular mycorrhiza often interact synergistically resulting in better root nodulation, nutrient uptake and plant yield. In soils with low P content, this interaction is marked, especially with added phosphate. Such beneficial interactions have been shown in the following legumes: Stylosanthes guyanensis, Centrosema pubescens, Medicago sativa, Phaseolus sp., Glycine max, Arachis hypogea, Vigna unguiculata, Pueraria sp., Trifolium repens and Trifolium subterraneum.
