Abstracts |
Arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi are known to be supportive to crop plants through uptake of diffusion limited nutrients, biological control, hormone production, drought resistance, etc. L. is one of the major medicinal plant of our country. Pot experiment was
conducted to screen and select the efficient arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi for inoculating . Screening was done with eleven different species of AM fungi ( and ). Plant parameters
like height, stem girth, biovolume index, biomass of shoot and root and mycorrhizal parameters like root colonization, spore number in the root
zone soil, etc. have been recorded according to the standard procedures. Based on the improved plant parameters like bio-volume index, plant
biomass, oil yield and phosphorus uptake it is concluded that is the bestAM fungus for inoculating Ocimum sanctum
