The research aimed to determine the effect of arbuscular mycorrhizal isolates from Central Kalimantan peat swamp forest on the growth of sengon (Falcataria moluccana (Miq) Barneby & Grimes). Arbuscular mycorrhizal isolates consisted of Glomus sp.2 (blackish brown) & Glomus sp.3 (dark brown) isolated from the peatland of Central Kalimantan. The mycorrhizal colonization was observed and plant growth parameters were measured for five months. The design used in this research was a complete randomized design and there were 6 treatments including Glo1S2 (Glomus sp.2, 2 spores), Glo1S4 (Glomus sp.2, 4 spores), Glo2S2 (Glomus sp.3, 2 spores), Glo2S4 (Glomus sp.3, 4 spores), control I and control II. The result showed that arbuscular mycorrhiza colonization significantly different between the treatments of inoculation compared with control. Glo2S4 treatment gave a significant effect on the growth of sengon in terms of plant height, stem diameter, number of leaves, root length and total biomass. Keywords: AMF, spore, Glomus, Kalimantan
