Abstracts |
Trap cultures from five locations (Budaun, Badshahpur, Ghaziabad in Uttar Pradesh, Gual Pahari and Palwal in Haryana, and Pachmari in Madhya Pradesh) in India were established and were monitored for sporulation by routine sampling. From each location, five wheat fields were selected, on which were grown the crops meant to serve as a trap crop. Trap cultures were monitored for three culture cycles for spore count, intraradical root colonization, infectivity potential, and species richness. Direct field sampling showed up to six species per sample. Comparable numbers of species were recovered from one cycle of trap culture. However, 75% of the species richness measured after two or three trap culture propagation cycles had not been detected in the first cycle. A tabulated list of the arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi recorded in the fields from different regions in India is provided.. |
