Abstract
 
 Oil palm plantations in Aceh , especially in Bireuen, are generally planted on red-yellow podzolic soil types. Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) are fungi who are symbiotically associated with 97% of plant species. This study aims to identify the type and population of mycorrhizal spores from oil palm rhizosphere soil samples using culture trapping techniques (maize, sorghum, kudzu). This research was carried out in a greenhouse and Experimental Field, Faculty of Agriculture, Islamic National University of Indonesia, Bireuen, Aceh. Isolation, identification and observation of AMF colonization on plant roots was carried out at the Laboratory of Soil Biology, Faculty of Agriculture, Syiah Kuala University. The parameters included the number of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi spores and the percentage of root colonization using the trapping culture method. The trapping culture method used 50 g of soil samples on oil palm rhizosphere which aged 5 months, 7 years, 9 years and 12 years. The results showed that the most dominant mycorrhizae found was the Glomus type. The mycorrhizae spores types found in the trapping culture were Glomus, Acaulospora and Gigaspora. The host plant that produced the most AMF spores was sorghum, while the highest AMF colonization of the three host plants was found in the roots of maize plants (78%) with very high criteria.

Oil palm (Elaeis guineensis Jacq.) is one of the prima donnas of plantation crops that have high economic value
The development of oil palm plantations in Indonesia is challenged with limited fertile lands, with the result that the expansion of the area is more directed at marginal lands which are usually found in areas outside Java such as Aceh, Sumatra, Java and Sulawesi
The existence of Mycorrhizal Fungi Association can be known by the presence or absence of infection that occurs in plant roots
Summary
Oil palm (Elaeis guineensis Jacq.) is one of the prima donnas of plantation crops that have high economic value. The development of oil palm plantations in Indonesia is challenged with limited fertile lands, with the result that the expansion of the area is more directed at marginal lands which are usually found in areas outside Java such as Aceh, Sumatra, Java and Sulawesi. Undoubtedly the most influential factor on plant growth is soil. Fertile soil is determined by the existence of a mutually beneficial relationship between roots and fungi commonly known as mycorrhizae. Mycorrhizae are fungi that live in mutualistic symbiosis with plant roots [2]. Several studies have shown that arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi have symbiotic mutualism in maize [5], sorghum [6], Pueraria javanica [7], oil palms [8]. Several studies have shown that arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi have symbiotic mutualism in maize [5], sorghum [6], Pueraria javanica [7], oil palms [8]. grasses and legumes [9], Pericopis mooniana [10], cacao (Theobroma cacao L.) [11], sweet potatoes (Ipomoea batata L.) and cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz) [12]
