Abstract
This research aimed to study the propagation spores of arbuscular mycorrhiza fungi (AMF) on different host plants. This research conducted in completely randomized block design (CRBD) with factorial pattern and each treatment was repeated three times and each consist five pot cultures, the total of treatments are 150 pot culture. The first factor are: kinds of host plant (A) with five levels i.e.: Pueraria javanica (A1), Centrocema pubescens (A2), Sorgum bicolor (A3), Cajanus cajan (A4), Zea mays (A5) and second factor are mycorrhyza fungi (B) which comprises two levels i.e.: Glomus sp (B1), Acaulospora sp (B2. The result of research showed that the highest average of spores number on P. javanica + Glomussp as 38 spores and lowest on C. pubescens+ Glomus sp and Z. mays + Glomus sp respectively as 28 spores. The percentage of roots colonization for Glomus sp on kinds of host plant i.e.: P. javanica as 60.36%, S. bicolor as 47.93%, Z. mays as 35.36%, C. cajan as 21.72%, C. pubescens as 20.55%. The percentage of roots colonization for Acaulospora sp on S. bicolor as 39.83%, C. cajan as 27.98%, C. pubescens as 26.57%, P. javanica as 23.82%, Z. mays as 21.20%. The highest average weight of shoots and roots on treatment of P. javanica (A1) each 0.82 g and 0.91 g.
Highlights
The arbuscular mycorrhiza fungi is one of the potential biological natural resources which are found in nature and can be found in various ecosystems. [1], the genus of mycorrhiza fungi i.e.: Glomus sp, Gigaspora sp, Acalauspora sp and Scutellospora sp

Summary
The arbuscular mycorrhiza fungi is one of the potential biological natural resources which are found in nature and can be found in various ecosystems. [1], the genus of mycorrhiza fungi i.e.: Glomus sp, Gigaspora sp, Acalauspora sp and Scutellospora sp. The arbuscular mycorrhiza fungi is one of the potential biological natural resources which are found in nature and can be found in various ecosystems. According to [2], the plant on the surface of the earth estimated as 80-90% to forming a symbiotic mutualism with the mycorrhiza fungi. According [3], the genotypic and species diversity of mycorrhiza fungi are broadly comparable across space. [4], reports that’s the effort that can be done is by utilizing the plant as a host of mycorrhiza fungi propagation and to increase the spores of mycorrhiza fungi needs to consider the supporting factors so that the results obtained can be optimal. According to [5], the factors that influence the mycorrhiza fungi's occupation are the maturity level of spores, host plants and the environment. It is similar to [7], that the abundance of Corresponding author E-mail address: Halim et al / GSC Biological and Pharmaceutical Sciences 2019, 08(01), 078–083 arbuscular mycorrhiza fungi in the roots was related to some chemical and physical properties of the soil, suggesting an effect of arbuscular mycorrhiza fungi on improving the soil quality
