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. Among these, arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) are particularly effective in stimulating plant growth and it has been well shown that their inoculation into the soil is one of the biological means by which the crop can resist certain stresses and increase productivity. 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. Above-ground, root and total biomass were assessed at 70 days after sowing. The results show an improvement in height by 78.34%, crown diameter by 78.34%, above-ground biomass by 54.83%, root biomass by 54.16% and total biomass by 54.65% compared to the non-inoculated control. Regarding the number of leaves, the difference observed with the control treatment was not significant (P = 0.0005). The frequency and intensity of mycorhization are quite high. Statistical analyses show significant differences (P < 0.05) between the different treatments. It is noted that the roots of the controls are not mycorhized. Similarly, the yield of the inoculated sesame plants resulted in a better improvement in the number of pods (131.25%), average number of seeds per pod (137.03%), seed yield (448.14%) and 1000 seed weight was not improved (0%). 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.
