To assess the occurrence and distribution of VAM fungi associated with Rhizosphere soil and roots of Vigna catjang
and Phaseolus mungo which were collected from two different localities Kongarai and Mampattu. To identify the
efficient native VAM fungi and their multiplication and influence on the growth nutrition and biochemical compounds
of Glomus by pot culturing method. Glomus fasiculatum, Glomus geospore were most abundant species found in the
root zone soils of all study sites. Influence of native strains of VAM fungi namely Acaulospora by Glomus Gigaspora,
Margarita, Glomus fasiculatum were selected for the growth nutrition and biochemical compounds. The genus Glomus
in general, Glomus fasiculatum in particular was the predominant colonizing species followed by Glomus geosporum
in both test plants. The present study had helped to boundaring the knowledge about VAM in relation to ecological and
physiological aspects which could help in developing suitable applications to improved growth of certain oil yielding
crop plants in Sandy loam soil. |
