Abstract

VA mycorrhizal fungi are found associated with different cultivars of the wheat though, their distribution varies along with the wheat varieties. Among the 13 wheat varieties under study, C-306 showed maximum colonization, greater number of VAM propagules and maximum number of VAM species whereas minimum colonization was found in HI–1501. Less number of spore population was found in rhizosphere soil of variety HD–4672 and minimum number of VAM species associated with two cultivar HD–2781 and A–9–30–1. Among the VAM species isolated from rhizosphere soils of all thirteen wheat cultivars, Glomus were found dominating with recorded 13 species followed by Acaulospora 10 species, Sclerocystis and Gigaspora are found poorly distributed with single species in rhizosphere soil of wheat cultivar. Among Glomus species, LHOI (Glomus hoi) was found dominating.
