EFFECT OF VESI CULAR - ARBUSCULAR MYCORRHIZAL FUNGI ON GROWTH AND NUTRITION OF CHICKPEA

Abstract

Chickpea was inoculated with Glomus fasciculatum, Glomus constrictum and Gigaspora calospora in sterilized soil in pots. Plants inoculated with all the three mycorrhizal fungi showed an increased plant dry weight and total phosphorus uptake over uninoculated sterilized soil. Increase of growth was correlated with intensity of infection.

Keywords: Mycorrhizal Flengi, Chickpea.
