ABSTRACT

This research was conducted in the net house Sindang Kasih of village, District of West Ranomeeto, Regency of South Konawe, Province of Southeast Sulawesi and Laboratory of the Faculty of Forestry and Environmental Sciences Halu Oleo University Kendari, Indonesia. This study aims to assess the growth and potential of Ageratum conyzoides as host plant propagation of mycorrhiza fungi. This research is compiled using a Completely Design Block (CDB) with five treatments i.e.: without mycorrhiza fungi polybag^﹣1 (A₀), 10 g mycorrhiza fungi polybag^﹣1 (A₁), 20 g mycorrhiza fungi polybag^﹣1 (A₂), 30 gmycorrhiza fungi polybag^﹣1 (A₃), and 40 g mycorrhiza fungi polybag^﹣1 (A₄). Each treatment was repeated 3 times in order to obtain the amount of 15 experimental units. The observed variables in this study were the stem of diameter, the leaves number of weed, the leaves area of weed, the number of seed stalk, seed number, seed weight and percentage of mycorrhiza fungi infection on weed rootings. The results showed that all doses treatment of mycorrhiza fungi inoculated was affected on growth of A. conyzoides.
