Abstract

The Establishment Of Arbuscular Mycorrhiza (am) Fungi Was Recorded In Six Cultivated Crops. There Was A Seasonal Fluctuation Of Am Fungal Colonization In Root Bit And In Root Length On Jowar, Wheat, Safflower, Sugarcane, Pigeon Pea And Cotton. The Root Colonization And Amf Spore Numbers In Soil Samples Not Correlated With Each Other. Results Revealed That O.m. And E.c. Higher Or Lower Level Have No Influence On Colonization/Spore Number, On Contrary Higher P And N Concentration In Soil Reduced Root Colonization. It Shows, The Distribution Of Am Fungi Varied With Climate And Edaphic Environments As Well As Land Use Patterns Among Cultivated Crops.

Keywords

Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi (AMF), Seasonal Fluctuation, Per Cent Colonization.

Abstract

Growth response and biomass production was estimeted in Terminalia bellerica Roxb. seedlings by the inoculation with VMF, Rhizobium and Molybdenum spray. The results revealed an increase in shoot and ischolar_main length of VMF colonization, number of leaves and the dry weight of shoots were recorded significantly higher over the control plants. Indigenous VAM fungus (Glomus mosseae), Rhzobium and Molybdenum spray improved the agronomic performance through the increased uptake of nutrients like N, P, K, Mg and Molybdenum.

Keywords
