This study deals with the development of effective techniques for multiplication of vesicular arbuscular mycorrhizal (VAM) fungi, and investigates the occurrence and status of VAM fungi present in limestone-mined areas. The experiment was conducted in Jabalpur, Madhya Pradesh, India. It was observed that the population of VAM spores is increasing with the age of dumps. Soils from 10-year-old dumps has the highest spore population while soils from 5-year-old dumps and fresh overburden dumps were found to be less populated. |
