| Abstract | ||||
| Many soils in the tropics are fragile and prone to degradation. Some characteristics of tropical soils put severe constraints on food production. proposed a fertility capability soil classification that identifies the major attributes that constrain plant production. These constraints include soil moisture stress, low nutrient capital, erosion risks, low pH with aluminium (Al) toxicity, high phosphorus (P) fixation, low levels of soil organic matter, and a loss of soil biodiversity. This study addressed the physico-chemical features of soil where Reichardia tingitana is growing which favored sandy soil. In addition, the effect of mycorrhizal colonization on growth parameters of Lupins were assessed. Our findings demonstrated that colonization of lupinus with AM fungi significantly increased growth parameters than non-mycorrhizal plants. | ||||
