Abstract
ABSTRACT. This study aimed to investigate the growth characteristics of three cultivars maize plants in symbiosis
with arbuskular mycorrhizal fungi. Greenhouse experiments are presented using a randomized block design factorial.
The first factor is the cultivar of maize plant consists of three levels, namely: local maize cultivar Motoro (k1), hybrid
corn cultivars Bisi-2 (k2), and composite maize cultivars Sukmaraga (k3). The second factor is the type of inoculant
AMF (Arbuskular Mycorrhizal Fungi) consisting of two levels, namely: without inoculant AMF (m0) and inoculant AMF
(m1) in the form of propagule consisting of spores, hyphae and roots infected with a dose of 7.5 g/plant. All
combined treatment was repeated three times. The results showed that the growth characteristic of three cultivars
of maize plants in symbiosis with arbuskular mycorrhizal fungi varies. Motoro maize cultivars had the highest rate of
growth of plants compared cultivars Sukmaraga and Bisi-2. In contrast, leaf area index value of maize cultivars Bisi-
2 higher than the cultivars Motoro and Sukmaraga. Motoro maize cultivars were more responsive to inoculation
arbuskular mycorrhizal fungi compared with maize cultivars Sukmaraga and Bisi-2.
Key words: AMF, maize cultivars.
