  abstract = {In the natural environment, sesame (Sesamum indicum L.), like any other crop, is subject to biotic and abiotic stresses. The presence of symbiotic microorganisms in the soil is often beneficial to the crop.

The objective of the present work is to evaluate the comparative effect of mycorrhizal inoculation with strains indigenous to Senegal on the growth and yield of sesame grown under controlled conditions. In this study, sesame was grown under greenhouse conditions and inoculated with four AMF inocula. Growth and yield parameters were evaluated at 14, 28, 42, 56 and 70 days after sowing.

From this study, it appears that AMF provide significant benefits to the plant, and can be used in the field to improve sesame growth and yield.},

AB  - In the natural environment, sesame (Sesamum indicum L.), like any other crop, is subject to biotic and abiotic stresses.
