      Fungus Inoculum Production.

AB  - This study considered soybean processing mill waste (hulls) as an organic 
      substrate for mass multiplication of indigenous arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi 
      on sorghum and amaranthus as hosts. In the first experiment, from seven soybean 
      processing mill wastes, three wastes were evaluated for their ability to multiply 
      AM fungi on the two host plants. Among these wastes, hulls were found to be 
      promising for the multiplication of AM fungi and were further examined in a 
      second experiment in combination with vermicompost (VC), a mix of hulls plus 
      vermicompost (SH + VC) amended with soil: sand mix (3:1 v/v) and a soil-sand mix 
      used as a control (SS) in polybags containing the previous two host species. We 
      found that SH blended with VC significantly improved AM fungus production in 
      sorghum polybags assessed through microscopic (spore density in soil, 
      colonization in roots) and biochemical parameters (AM signature lipids in soil: 
      16:1omega5cis neutral lipid fatty acid (NLFA); phospholipids fatty acid (PLFA) g(-1) 
      soil; 16:1omega5cis ester lipid fatty acid (ELFA) g(-1) both in soil and roots; and 
      glomalin content in soil. SH + VC contained significantly greater AM fungus 
      populations than the other substrate combinations examined. Principal component 
      analysis (PCA) also identified sorghum as a potential host supporting AM fungus 
      populations particularly when grown under SH + VC conditions. Hence, the 
      combination of soybean hulls and vermicompost was found to be a promising 
      substrate for the mass production of AM fungi using sorghum as a host. These 
      findings have important implications for developing AM fungus inoculum production 
      strategies at the commercial scale.
