Abstract

An experiment has been conducted to study the effects giving of Vesicular Arbuscular Mycorrhiza (VAM) to green mustard crop production and growth. The experiment was done at experimental farm of agriculture Dept., University of Riau, Rimbo Panjang, Pekanbaru., beginning on May untill July 2007. the experiment was arranged in randomized block design using 1 factor of treatment; application of VAM (control, 10, 15, 20, 30 g of inoculant plant ).
