Abstract

The aim of the study was to evaluate the response of Canavalia ensiforme to inoculation of different arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) strains in a Ferrallitic Yellow Reddish and Lixiviated soil dedicated to tobacco production. The experiment was carried out using random blocks with five variants and repetitions that include the four strains inoculated Canavalia ensiforme with the strains of Rhizo plagus and a control without inoculation. The results demonstrated that Glomus cubense strain has the best response for this type of soil. The largest growth and development of canavalia was reached with the application of Glomus cubense strains with a dry mass foliar production was 7,3 t ha-1 and the highest levels of nutrients such as N, P, K (264,9 kg N ha-1; 37,6 kg P ha-1; 226,7 kg K ha-1) were obtained. The use of inoculated Canavalia ensiforme with Glomus cubense and Rhizophagus intraradices had a significant response and increased the mycorrhizae functioning in soil used for tobacco production.
