| In order to select suitable substrate for seedling growth of Artemisia annua, experiments wereconducted to study the effects of six different substrates and inoculation with arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi on theseedling growth of A annua. The results showed that the seeds of A annua in the mixture substrate with the volumeratio of peat and sand at 12 germinated earliest and the first true leaf appeared. Moreover, the germination rate,seedling height, root length, fresh weight, dry weight and mycorrhizal colonization rate in this mixture substrate werethe highest among the six substrates. The promoting effects on seedling growth of A. annua were more significant afterinoculation with arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi. Therefore, the mixture substrate with the volume ratio of peat and sandat 12 can be used as an ideal substrate for mycorrhizal seedling of A. annua in the seedling production. |
