Abstract


The co-inoculation effect of vesicular arbuscular mycorrhizal (VAM) fungi, and phosphate solubilizing bacteria (PSB) on nutrient uptake of Marsdenia volubilis was carried out in this study. The plant seedlings  harvested at various incubation days (30, 60, and 90) transplantation with two  different treatments (individual VAM and PSB) resulted in uptake of  shoot and root nutrients content, the dual inoculation (VAM and PSB)  showed an excellent  improvements in uptake of  nutrients like  N, P, K, Ca, Mg, Fe, Mn and Zn concentrations in  Marsdenia volubilis  than  single applications.
