Popis: | Enhancement of productivity of potato plants grown on poor-P soil such as Inceptisols due to application of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) has been acknowledged. However, whether the AMF inoculation can improve the quality of potato tubers still needs further study. This study was conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of AMF in enhancing potato quality and determine whether the addition of compost and biochar to soil can support the AMF biofertilizer in enhancing the nutrient content in potato tubers. A greenhouse experiment was set up in a factorial design consisting of organic matter types (compost and compost plus biochar) and inoculation of arbuscular mycorrhiza fungi (without and with AMF consisted of Glomus sp. and Gigaspora sp.). The results showed that there was no interaction effect between organic matter and AMF on the quality of potato tubers, however, the individual factor especially AMF increased the contents of protein and lipid in the potato tubers. Application of biochar together with compost also increased the lipid content of potato tubers. The finding showed that AMF inoculation on potato seedlings grown on poor P-soil increased the quality of potato tubers. |
