Abstract

To investigate the influence of Arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi on dill and common bean yield at different cropping systems in 2013, an experiments was carried out with factorial arrangement based on randomized complete block design with three replications. The factors were cropping systems including a) common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) sole cropping (40 plants m-2), b) dill (Anethum graveolens L.) sole cropping at different densities (25, 50 and 75 plants m-2) and c) the additive intercropping of common bean + dill (25+40, 50+40 and 75+40 plants m-2). All these treatments were applied with (+AM) or without (-AM) AM colonization. The AM colonization significantly increased the plant height, root depth and seed yield as compared to non-inoculated plants. Intercropping significantly changed plant height, root depth and seed yield compared to sole cropping. Seed yield and plant height for intercrops were higher than those for sole crops.
