Abstract

The study aimed to determine the effect of different concentrations of biochare and there interaction with the mycorrhizal fungus Glomus mosseae growth of Phaseolus vulgaris plant cultivated in plastic pots. The results showed a significant increase in the vegetative growth parameters of green bean plants ,The interaction treatment between mycorrhizal fungi and the addition of 3% of biochare achieved the highest average plant height which was 39.13 cm compared control treatment which was 30.90 cm . The highest average number of leaves was in the treatment of mycorrhizal fungus interaction with 1% biochare, which was 17.33 leaves.plant-1, The treatment of mycorrhizal fungi interacting with 3% biochare significantly outperformed the rest of the treatments and recorded 14.94 gm in fresh shoot weight ,The interaction treatment of mycorrhizal fungus with 3% biochare significantly outperformed the rest of the treatments, as it recorded a dry weight of 2.540 gm ,as for the control treatment, it recorded the lowest dry weight of the green mass, which was 1.487 gm.Treatment of mycorrhizal fungus and 1% biochare interaction achieved the highest increase in root length, which was 63.8 cm. The treatment of mycorrhizal fungus interaction with 3% Biochare significantly outperformed the rest of the treatments, as it recorded a root fresh weight of 28.36 gm, treatments of mycorrhizal fungus with 3% biochare recorded a significant increase in the average dry weight of the root compared to the rest of the treatment and was 2.257 gm compared to the control treatment which recorded the lowest average dry weight of the root and was 0.897 gm.
