Abstract

This study sort to investigate the effect of rhizobial and arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) on the growth, yield and nutritional quality of groundnut. A field experiment conducted in a split-plot design was used to determine the effect of rhizobia, AMF, co-inoculation of rhizobia and AMF on the growth and yield of two groundnut genotypes of the subsp. hypogaea (village/Virginia) and subsp. fastigiata (Garoua/Fastigiata). Inoculations and a control treatment were repeated three times and groundnut seeds were inoculated before sowing. Results showed improved growth of inoculated plants compared to non-inoculated. 60 days after planting (DAP), the highest plant height (13.67cm) was recorded for the village type inoculated with AMF and 12.18cm for the Garoua type inoculated with combined rhizobium and AMF compared to the control (12.40 and 10.63cm respectively). The number of leaves plant-1 was significantly (p < 0.05) higher in inoculated plants than non-inoculated plants for both varieties at 60 DAP. A similar trend was observed for dry aboveground biomass with the village type (213.88g) significantly (p < 0.05) higher than the Garoua type (90.40g). The village type was significantly more productive (51 pods plant-1) than the Garoua type (7 pods plant-1) for the most productive treatment (AMF inoculation). The Garoua type produced more nodules (264) especially in mycorrhizal and co-inoculation than the village type (213). Yield obtained from the village type (5.3 t ha-1 for AMF inoculation) was significantly higher than yield obtained from the Garoua type. Total sugar and lipid content of grains were higher in inoculated plants and was significantly higher for the Garoua type 6.14% and 43.14%, respectively) than the village type. This study showed that inoculation of groundnut with rhizobia and AMF had a positive impact on the growth, nodulation, yield and nutritional quality of peanuts.
