However, this dosage form has a non-uniform application dose and allows VAM spores to be lost through wind and rainwater, so innovation is needed in the VAM dosage form. A study aimed at knowing dosage forms of VAM as a biological agent that affects colonization level and C3 plant‘s root morphology was carried out at Screen House Laboratory, Faculty of Agriculture, Animal Husbandry and Fisheries, University of Muhammadiyah Parepare using a factorial design based on completely randomized design (CRD). Treatment of VAM dosage forms (factor 1) used was powder (A1), sachet (A2), and tablet (A3). While the C3 plant species (factor 2) used were Puraria japonica (B1), Vigna radiata (B2), and Amaranthus gangeticus (B3). Observations were conducted on the percentage of colonized roots and the C3 plants’ root morphology. The results showed that the combined treatment of VAM dosage forms (powder, sachet, and tablets) and C3 plant species ( Puraria javanica, Vigna radiata, Amaranthus gangeticus ) showed significant effects on colonized roots percentage and C3 plant root morphology. So it can be recommended that VAM dosage forms (sachet and tablet) are efficient and effective for the mobilization and field application of VAM. ## Keywords - Biology - Colonization - Spore - Horticulture - Botany - Morphology (biology) - Ecology - Genetics --- Sumber: Discover Unhas — RIMS Universitas Hasanuddin.
