Abstract

Ten native plant species were studied to assess the VAM status. Root infection percentage and spore numbers were worked out. Argyreia sp. showed the highest (45%) root infection. Lowest root infection (17%) was found in case Borreria hispida. On the other hand, B. hispida harboured the highest number of spores in its rhizosphere (294 per 50 g of soil) and Clerodendron sp. lowest spores (40 per 50 g of soil.) Glomus was the most abundant VAM fungi associated with all the plants studied.
