Abstract

The objective of this study is to evaluate the physicochemical characteristics of the soils supporting Vitis vinifera in the Sidi Ben Adda region (Ain Temouchent) across two sites, one modern and one traditional. The study further aims to determine the mycorrhization rate of this plant species by measuring the mycorrhization frequency, overall mycorrhization intensity, and the arbuscular richness of the mycorrhized parts. This is to examine the effect of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) (through controlled inoculation) on the growth of Vitis vinifera. Analyses of soil samples collected from beneath Vitis vinifera at both the modern and traditional sites in Sidi Ben Adda, Ain Temouchent, indicate that the soil has a silty-clay texture and low levels of assimilable phosphorus and nitrogen. Microscopic examinations of root fragments from Vitis vinifera at both sites revealed the presence of characteristic arbuscular mycorrhizal structures, including hyphae, arbuscules, vesicles, and spores. The root fragments from both sites are highly mycorrhized.
