Abstracts |
An intensive survey of barley fields in Jaipur district was done to investigate distribution, population and occurrence of VAM fungi in association with Hordeum vulgare. Different species of VAM were isolated from soil collected. The percentage occurrence of different VAM species varies to a different extent. The two main genera were identified viz. Glomus, Gigaspora and Scutellospora. Data collected from the farmer revealed that the barley fields showing association with VA mycorrhizal fungi had better growth comparatively to fields lacking VA mycorrhizal infection. |
