Sand is one of the planting media, but the use of sand as a planting medium is still rare due to the low nutrient content. Quartz sand needs the addition of compost to support plant growth. Mycorrhiza can also be added to the growing media. Mycorrhiza is a soil fungus that can symbiosis with the host plant's roots and has a broad influence on pathogenic microorganisms. Mycorrhiza can also increase secondary metabolites in plants. The compound which is the initial signal for plants to form secondary metabolites is salicylic acid. This research aimed to investigate effect mycorrhiza increase plant growth, the content of salicylic acid and reduce the attack of F. oxysporum fungi that cause Fusarium wilt in tobacco plants. This experiment used a completely randomized design with mycorrhiza dose treatment consisting of 6 treatments that are Control (Soil), M0 (AMB-P0K + 0 g polybag-1) M1 (AMB-P0K + 10 g polybag-1), M2 (AMB-P0K + 20 g polybag-1), M3 (AMB-P0K + 30 g polybag-1), M4 (AMB-P0K + 40 g polybag-1) with each treatment consisting of 5 replications. The results showed that AMB-P0K + mycorrhiza was significant at plant height, number of leaves, leaf area, disease index, pathogen incubation and SA contain.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
