Abstract
ABSTRACT Investigations were carried out with grape cv. Perlette to assess the influence of arbuscular mycorrhiza (AM) on breaking bud dormancy, and hastening flowering, berry set and berry ripening. Eighteen year old vines of Perlette, having uniform vigour and growth, planted at 2.5 × 2.5 m and trained on a telephone system, were inoculated with three strains of AM namely Glomus mossae, Glomus deserticola and Gigaspora calospora, when the root system was active in February. Treatments with FYM and inorganic NPK were maintained as checks. The grapevines inoculated with Glomus deserticola took significantly fewer days for bud sprouting, inflorescence emergence, 50% flowering, berry set and ripening compared with all other treatments. The observations are discussed in relation to observed changes in the soil pH and leaf nutrient status. Hastening of bud sprouting, flowering, berry set and ripening in AM treated plants helped in harvesting the fruits before the onset of rains and reduced the damage due to monsoons. It is suggested that AM strain Glomus deserticola can potentially be included in the fertilizer management practice as an alternative to chemical fertilizers for providing the plant nutrient requirement.
