nutrition is described as heterotrophic (eating others). Consumers include: predators‚ parasites‚ scavengers‚ decomposers and some green plants (e.g. sundews‚ Venus flytrap‚ pitcher plants). The food sources may be all or any of: plants‚ animals‚ fungi or bacteria; either living or dead. The advantages of the heterotrophic method of nutrition are: the food usually contains all the appropriate chemicals needed by the consumer "feeding" is not restricted to daylight hours.

Allium spp. responded with growth promotion on AMF inoculation. Onion plants inoculated with AMF (Glomus intraradices or Glomus versiforme) grown in pots with mineral soil with higher biomass than non-inoculated plants and reached marketable size (>25 mm bulb diameter) 1-2 weeks earlier than those (5). These AMF inoculation causes bulb development of onions (5). Mycorrhizal inoculation lead to 22% increase yields of onions compared to controls. Mixed application of mycorrhizal inoculation‚ humic
