Allium spp. responded with growth promotion on AMF inoculation. Onion plants inoculated with AMF (Glomus intraradices or Glomus versiforme) grown in pots with mineral soil with higher biomass than non-inoculated plants and reached marketable size (>25 mm bulb diameter) 1-2 weeks earlier than those (5). These AMF inoculation causes bulb development of onions (5). Mycorrhizal inoculation lead to 22% increase yields of onions compared to controls. Mixed application of mycorrhizal inoculation‚ humic
