This study evaluates the impact of four arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) species Funneliformis mosseae, Rhizophagus irregularis, Claroideoglomus etunicatum, and Claroideoglomus claroideum on the growth and yield of BRRI Dhan 28 rice. Conducted at the Agronomy Field Laboratory, University of Rajshahi, Bangladesh, the experiment utilized sandy loam soil with a pH of 6.8 to 8.6 and was influenced by a subtropical climate. The research employed a randomized complete block design with three replications. Rice plants were subjected to various treatments and grown under standard agronomic practices. Parameters such as plant height, tiller number, chlorophyll content, panicle length, grain number per panicle, 1000-grain weight, and yield metrics were assessed at different growth stages. Statistical analysis using analysis of variance and Duncan's Multiple Range Test evaluated the effects of the AMF treatments. Results demonstrated that Funneliformis mosseae consistently outperformed the other AMF species, showing the highest plant height of 89.52 cm at 120 days after transplanting (DAT), the greatest number of tillers per hill at 18.7, and the highest number of effective tillers per hill at 14.62. It also resulted in the highest grain yield of 6.5 tons per hectare and the highest biological yield of 15.21 tons per hectare. Rhizophagus irregularis showed significant improvements but was less effective than Funneliformis mosseae. Claroideoglomus etunicatum and Claroideoglomus claroideum provided variable results, with Claroideoglomus etunicatum showing reduced grain and straw yields compared to the control. This study highlights the superior benefits of Funneliformis mosseae in enhancing rice productivity.

Keywords: Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi, rice, BRRI Dhan 28, chlorophyll content, subtropical climate and agronomy.
