Abstract

A greenhouse experiment was conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi in phytoremediation of zinc contaminated calcareous soil by vetiver grass. Experiment was a factorial arranged in a completely randomized design (CRD) with three replications. Two factors consisted of Zn levels (10, 150, 300 and 600 mg kg-1 as ZnSO4.7H2O) and AM fungi (control, Glomus intraradices, Glomus versiforme). Shoot and root dry weights decreased as Zn levels increased. Mycorrhizal inoculation increased those plant measured parameters compared to those of control. With increasing Zn levels, and mycorrhizal inoculation, Zn uptake of shoot and root increased. Root colonization with mycorrhizal inoculation increased, but decreased as Zn levels increased. Mycorrhizal inoculation increased zinc extraction, uptake and translocation efficiencies. Zinc translocation factor decreased as Zn levels increased, however inoculation with AM fungi increased it. Zinc extraction and uptake efficiencies of G. intraradices were more than G. versiforme,while zinc translocation efficiency and factor were vice versa.
