Abstract
Tecomella undulata Sm.Seem. commonly called 'Marwar Teak' is an important and indigenous species of arid zone. It is worth for making best quality furniture. The association of VAM fungi occurs naturally in weeds , grasses , bushes and shrubs of this area. Tree species are also endomycorrhizal in nature. Symbiosis of VAM fungi plays an important role in arid areas , as soil of this region is poor in nutrients. maniPulation of seedlings with indigenous strains of VAM fungi is an important tool for successful afforestation programme. In the present paper , optimum dose of inoculum required for maximum VAM infection and biomass in seedlings of T. undulata has been discussed.
