Pedilanthes tithymoides (L.) Poir. stem cuttings were inoculated with different AM fungi viz., Glomus fasciculatum, Glomus mosseae, Glomus macrocarpum, Glomus intraradices, Glomus etunicatum, Acaulospora laevis and Gigaspora margarita. The observations on plant growth, biomass production, leaf area, mycorrhizal ischolar_main colonization and P uptake were recorded. The results revealed that the plants inoculated with Glomus fasciculatum performed best in improving plant growth, biomass and phosphorus uptake followed by G. intraradices and A. laevis.
