“…Recently, it was concluded that combined effects of bioinoculants increase soil production, which ultimately lead to better growth of plants [38]. Earlier work on other ornamental species, namely, Zinnia elegans, Tagetes patula and Salvia splendens, showed progressive effects of AMF on growth and overall yield [17,39]. Therefore, we planned our study to scrutinize the effectiveness of AMF alone and in combination with T. viride and P. fluorescens, as no work has been done on G. rigens using these bioinoculants as biofertilizers in pot culture cultivation.…”

In the present analysis, we evaluated the effect of different microbial inoculants on growth and floral responses of Gazania rigens (L.) Gaertn. Two prevailing arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) i.e., Funelliformis mosseae and Acaulospora laevis, along with Trichoderma viride and Pseudomonas fluorescens, were examined in a pot experiment. Independent roles of these four microbes and their different combinations were used in sixteen treatments of G. rigens. The experiment was conducted in a polyhouse with five replicates per treatment in a randomized complete block design. The results of microbial inoculants were very effective for growth yield and flowering response over the control. Early flowering was noted in the combination of F. mosseae, A. laevis and P. fluorescens, which also showed the best results for flower head size, flower fresh and dry weight, total chlorophyll, carotene and phosphorus content. Arbuscular mycorrhiza (AM) root colonization (%) and AM spore number were also the highest for the same treatment, whereas the number of leaves, number of buds and root length were maximum in the combined treatment (F. mosseae + A. laevis + T. viride + P. fluorescens). Overall, this study proposes that growers should consider microbial inoculants for the better yield and flower quality of G. rigens.

“…Non-significant effects of mycorrhization on the aerial part of inoculated plants have also been reported in the production of Sanvitalia procumbens, Impatiens hawkerii (Püschel et al, 2014), Viola. tricolor (Zubek et al, 2015), Tagetes patula and Salvia splendens (Janowska & Andrzejak, 2017). This fact may have occurred due to the low symbiotic efficiency, which varies according to the different species of AMs, host plant and environmental conditions (Moreira & Siqueira, 2006) and, in this way, did not provide benefits to the aerial part of the garden pansy even with the colonization effected.…”

Garden pansy is a versatile gardening plant -it produces beautiful colorful edible-flowers with high value in gourmet cuisine. The use of irrigation and biotechnology in garden pansy cultivation can provide gains in flower productivity and nutritional value. The goal of this study was to evaluate the growth and edible flower production in garden pansy plants, submitted to different levels of irrigation and mycorrhizal inoculation. The experiment was conducted in randomized blocks in the 2 x 5 factorial design, with the presence and absence of mycorrhizal inoculation in combination with 5 levels of irrigation with 6 replicates, in a greenhouse. There was no significant interaction between the factors mycorrhizal inoculation and irrigation levels by the F test. Under the tested conditions, the mycorrhizal inoculation was unable to provide significant changes in the growth, development and flowering of garden pansy plants. It was concluded that no symbiotic efficiency was pointed out between the mycorrhizal fungus used and garden pansy plants. The best growth and yield results for cultivating and producing edible flowers of garden pansy were obtained at the 100% replenishment level of water evaporation.

“…Lovato et al [29] noted that mycorrhized miniature roses and chrysanthemums were better-branched, and, as a result, they flowered more abundantly. According to Janowska and Andrzejak [30], Tagetes patula 'Yellow Boy' plants treated with mycorrhiza produced more inflorescence buds, whereas Salvia splendens 'Saluti Red' developed more flowers per inflorescence.…”

This study was conducted to assess the influence of gibberellic acid (GA3) and arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) on the flowering and quality of Zantedeschia albomaculata (Hook.) Baill ‘Albomaculata’ plants. Before planting, the rhizomes were soaked in water or an aqueous solution of GA3 at a concentration of 150 mg dm−3 for 30 min. A mixture of AMF was applied to the rhizomes a week after planting. The AMF treatment increased the yield of inflorescences of the ‘Albomaculata’ cultivar by 100%. AMF and GA3 had a favourable effect on the quality of inflorescences, expressed by the length of peduncles, whereas AMF individually positively affected the length of the spathes. AMF and GA3 had no effect on the level of macroelements in calla lily leaves, with the exception of calcium (Ca). The leaves of mycorrhized plants had a high content of sodium (Na) and micronutrients, except for iron (Fe). The results of the study showed that GA3 could be replaced by mycorrhizal inoculation when applied to Zantedeschia plants.
