| contents | Diversity and spatial distribution of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi species associated with vegetable plants of Kano State, Nigeria Umma Abdurrahman Yakasai Safianu Rabiu Biological Diversity AbstractIn this study, soil samples were collected from the rhizosphere of onion, tomato, and cucumber plants in the Kura agroecological zone of Kano State, Nigeria. Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) species were isolated using the wet sieving and sucrose centrifugation method. A total of 15 AMF species, representing 12 genera, were identified from the soil samples collected across the experimental plots. The genera included Gigaspora, Septoglomus, Rhizophagus, Dentiscutata, Acaulospora, Racocetra, Archaeospora, Entrophospora, Diversispora, Claroideoglomus, Sclerocystis, and Glomus. Among these, three species, Septoglomus constrictum, Acaulospora trappei, and Glomus botryoides, were present at all nine sampling sites, exhibiting a 100% frequency of occurrence. Acaulospora capsicula and Gigaspora margarita were found in six sites (66.67%), Claroideoglomus etunicatum in five sites (55.56%), and Rhizophagus intraradices in four sites (44.44%). Additionally, six species, Dentiscutata erythropa, Sclerocystis rubiformis, Racocetra coralloidea, Entrophospora infrequens, Funneliformis mosseae, and Glomus sp. 1, were each recorded in three sites (33.33%). Diversispora epigaea was identified in two sites (22.22%), whereas Glomus macrocarpum was detected in only one site (11.11%). These AMF species hold potential for future use in biofertilizer production, contributing to environmental sustainability by reducing the excessive reliance on chemical fertilizers. 10.1002/bod2.70004 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ |
