Description :
The potential for arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) to influence the host species depends on their affinities and effect. In the present investigation Acaulospora delicata, Glomus dimorphicum, Glomus fasciculatum, Glomus geosporum were evaluated for their influence in improving the growth performance of Tephrosia purpurea Pers.
After 45 and 90 days of inoculated plants showed better growth responses over control plants. The maximum mycorrhizal effect on experimental plants was observed by the Acaulospora delicata and Glomus dimorphicum in increasing height, biomass, AM spore number and percent root colonization.
