This research was conducted in the net house Sindang Kasih of village,
District of West Ranomeeto, Regency of South Konawe, Province of Southeast
Sulawesi and Laboratory of the Faculty of Forestry and Environmental Sciences
Halu Oleo University Kendari, Indonesia. This study aims to assess the growth
and potential of Ageratum conyzoides as host plant propagation of
mycorrhiza fungi. This research is compiled using a Completely Design Block (CDB)
with five treatments i.e.: without mycorrhiza
fungi polybag﹣1 (A0), 10 g mycorrhiza fungi polybag﹣1 (A1), 20 g mycorrhiza fungi polybag﹣1 (A2), 30
gmycorrhiza fungi polybag﹣1 (A3), and 40 g mycorrhiza
fungi polybag﹣1 (A4). Each treatment was repeated 3 times
in order to obtain the amount of 15 experimental units. The observed variables
in this study were the stem of diameter, the leaves number of weed, the leaves
area of weed, the number of seed stalk, seed number, seed weight and percentage
of mycorrhiza fungi infection on weed rootings. The results showed that all
doses treatment of mycorrhiza fungi inoculated was affected on growth of A. conyzoides.
