Abstract
This study was conducted to compare the effects of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) on the growth and fruit yield of hydroponically grown cucumber and tomato plants in solid medium culture. Mycorrhizal fungus Glomus sp. was collected from plastic film house soils of cucumber and tomato and inoculated to the experimental crops at the time of seeding and transplanting. Root infection of cucumber and tomato plants by AMF was more significantly increased when the AMF was inoculated at seeding stage than at transplanting stage. In the infected roots of cucumber and tomato, mycorrhizal hyphae was easily observed but vesicle and arbuscule were rare. Overall plant growth was increased with AMF inoculation and the growth was higher when AMF was inoculated at seeding stage. Fresh weight of each fruit of cucumber and tomato and sugar content in tomato fruits were significantly increased with AMF inoculation at seeding stage. The AMF inoculation also increased fruit yields of cucumber and tomato.
