Plants inoculated with Rhizobium significantly increased nitrogen content at the roots while those inoculated with mycorrhiza significantly increased in height by 216%, in diameter by 45% and in phosphorus content of roots and shoots. However, significantly higher height growth was observed in plants inoculated with both mycorrhiza and rhizobium (307%) as compared with those inoculated with either mycorrhiza (216%) or rhizobium (32%). Combined inoculation also resulted in significantly higher dry matter yield and nitrogen and phosphoru1463s uptakes than those inoculated with Rhizobium and those uninoculated but this was not significantly different from those inoculated with mycorrhiza alone. Inoculation with mycorrhiza plus Rhizobium increased nitrogen and phosphorus uptakes by 223% and 560%, respectively. The increase in nitrogen and phosphorus uptakes consequently resulted in higher dry matter yield of ipil-ipil seedlings. These results suggest a possible synergistic interaction between mycorrhizal fungi and rhizobium in enhancing growth of ipil-ipil seedl
