Abstracts |
Seasonal variation of arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) colonization and spore density in the rhizosphere of Ageratum conyzoides in natural habitat of KBR Forest in Assam, India, was studied in 2007. In addition to these, the different edaphic factors of soil of KBR were also determined. The mycorrhizal spore population and percentage colonization in relation with the different edaphic factors were measured. The AM associations were prevailed throughout the year (highest in spring and lowest in winter). Acaulospora trappei and Glomus fasciculatum were recorded throughout the year. The observation revealed a correlation between the abundance of AM fungal spore and pH, percentage of organic matter and available phosphorus. Low light, soil moisture and temperature could reduce the capacity to form mycorrhiza in plant roots in winter |
