Inoculation of blue-green algae in paddy soil using artificial plots /

Studies were carried out to propagate beneficial filamentous blue-green algae isolated from paddy field and to inoculate blue-green algae into the test plots. Three samplings were carried out in the paddy field in Sungai Manik, Perak. In this study, blue-green algae were cultured in Fogg's medi...

520 |a Studies were carried out to propagate beneficial filamentous blue-green algae isolated from paddy field and to inoculate blue-green algae into the test plots. Three samplings were carried out in the paddy field in Sungai Manik, Perak. In this study, blue-green algae were cultured in Fogg's media using water samples collected in Sungai Manik. The purpose of this culturing was to obtain an adequate amount of blue-green algae for the inoculation in artificial plots. Cultures were also monitored for twenty days to observe the changes in the growth of algae. Results showed that three spesies were found in fogg's media: Oscillatoria sp, Anabaena sp. and Nostoc sp. Oscillatoria sp. was the predominant species while Nostoc sp. became dominant at the end of culture. For algalization study, the plants and roots taken from the inoculated plot were significantly bigger in size (R<0.01), compared to the plants taken from the control plot. Results showed that the percentage increase for the effect of algalization over control for both plant and root growth were 88.90% and 73.89% respectively. The changes of algae in Fogg's media showed that green algae from the division Chlorophyta were the predominant species in thr beginning of the cycle followed by blue-green algae that became dominant at the end of culturing period.
