Abstract

Background and Objectives: This research was carried out to survey the effects of mycorrhiza fungi and comparison of its three species on the growth and development and yield of groundnut. 
 
Materials and Methods: The experiment was conducted as a factorial experiment in a completely randomized block design with three replications at the experimental field and factors were two groundnut cultivars and three species of mycorrhizal fungi.
 
Results: The results indicated that plant height, chlorophyll index, weight of seed yield per square meters, non-ripen seed per plant, percent of ripen seed per plant, and plant phosphor content were affected significantly by mycorrhiza fungi and groundnut cultivar. Application of G. etunicatum and G. intraradices resulted in plants with more height. The recorded chlorophyll index for the treated plants with G. etunicatum and G. mosseae fungi was significantly higher. The G. etunicatum in compare to other used two mycorrhizas significantly increased the seed weight per square meters. Utilization of G. etunicatum and G. intraradices decreased the count of non-ripen seed per plant. The measured phosphor content of the inoculated plants with G.intraradices fungi was significantly higher than others, indicating this species' effective role in phosphorus uptake
 
Conclusion: The results of this study indicate that the symbiotic fungi of G. etunicatum and G. intraradices demonstrate superior efficacy in enhancing the evaluated parameters related to peanut production. Therefore, their application is strongly advocated as a component of sustainable agricultural management practices. Implementing these microorganisms has the potential to significantly increase crop productivity, enhance quality, and diminish dependence on chemical fertilizers. Additionally, it is crucial to investigate the interactions between various peanut cultivars and different fungal strains to optimize yield outcomes across diverse agricultural environments.
