Efficacy of four Vesicular Arbuscular Mycorrhizal (VAM) fungi on the management of root rot disease of Casuarina equisetifolia Frost caused by Rhizoctonia bataticola (Taub Butler) was evaluated. All the four VAM fungi when applied to soil significantly reduced the root rot incidence in the nursery. VAM fungi treated plants showed significant increase in dry weight when compared to pathogen inoculated plants. Among the VAM fungi Glomus fasiculatum recorded the least disease incidence with maximum dry weight.
