Abstracts |
A periodical survey was conducted in Western Rajasthan, India to determine the effect of arbuscular mycorrhiza fungi endophytes (Acaulospora laevis, Gigaspora gigantea, Gigaspora margarita, Glomus deserticola, Glomus fasciculatum, Sclerocystis rubiformis, Scutellospora calospora and Scutellospora nigra) on abiotic factors in cultivated mung bean plants. Maximum spore population was observed in Gigaspora gigantea while minimum spore population was evident in Acaulospora laevis. Gigaspora margarita colonized the roots most efficiently and produced the maximum number of spores in the rhizosphere. Acaulospora laevis colonized the roots at the minimum level while minimum spore formation in the rhizosphere was found in Glomus fasciculatum. The results revealed the existence of definite AM fungal association with mung bean as well as a significant qualitative difference in the occurrence of different Am species. |
