UJI KOMPATIBILITAS MIKORIZA DARI BERBAGAI SUMBER TERHADAP TIGA VARIETAS SINGKONG (Manihot esculenta crantz) PADA TANAH MEDITERAN DI TANJUNG SARI GUNUNGKIDUL
Abstract
The purposes of this research are to multiply various sources of mycorrhizal inoculum
and test its compatibility in three local varieties of Cassava in Gunungkidul and to examine
the evolution of mycorrhiza on cassava seeds. mycorrhizal compatibility of various sources
on three varieties of cassava. The experimental study was prepared in RAKL (Uncompletely
Randomized Design) with a factorial design (3x3). Factor 1 is composed of 3 levels of
mycorrhizaes from various sources as follows: A: Indigenous of Gunungkidul Mediteran soil;
B: Rhizosphere of Bugel beach pandanus plants; C: commercial mycorrhizal inoculum.
Factor 2 is cassava varieties consist of 3 levels, which are; P: Mentega; Q: Kirik; R: Ketan.
The observed parameters were percentage of mycorrhiza infection on cassava root, number
of spores on soil, root length, plant height, fresh weight of canopy, and number of leaves.The
result indicated that the multiplication of mycorrhizal sources proven to infect the roots of
cassava and there were the spores in various sources of mycorrhiza. This proves that there is
an association between mycorrhizae and cassava root and the presence of planting media
spores and based on the observation of spore identification. Spore types are Glomus sp.,
Gigaspora sp., And Acaulospora sp. Cassava varieties that have the best or effective
response to mycorrhiza is Kirik varieties.
