Abstract

The efficiency of eight arbuscular mycorrhizal species collected from rhizosphere soil of Terminalia arjuna L. from Indian Thar desert was tested. Mycorrhizal colonization resulted in increased accumulation of nutrients, chlorophyll, carotenoids, sugars and proteins. Among the eight AM fungi used, Glomus fasciculatum (Thaxter sensu Gerd.) Gerd. & Trappe proved to be the most efficient.

Abstract

Relative efficiency of seven VAM species G. fasciculatuun, G. mosseae, G. Constrictum. Scu. calsapoTa, Gig. Margarita, Acaul. Morrowae and Sele. Rubiformis, collected from rhizosphere soils of Z. mauritiana from arid and semi arid regions oflndia was tested. The investigation reveals that increasing amount of highly nutritious leaf fodder of Z. mauritiana can be produced by inoculating the plants with G. Fascicculatum as it increased the plant biomass and nutrient uptake most efficiently by colonizing the ischolar_mains most effectively. However, field trails should be undertaken to assess the potentiality of this efficient strain.
