 ABSTRACT

Effect of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi on five tree species i.e. Prosopis cineraria, Dalbergia sissoo, Eucalyptus tereticornis, Azadirachta indica and Ailanthus excels were studied at CCS Haryana Agricultural University Hisar. It was summarized that mycorrhizal inoculated plants have more survival percentage, root length, shoot length, total biomass, mycorrhizal colonization, sporocarp number and nutrient content (NPK) as compared to the non inoculated plants. Among the five tree species Dalbergia sissoo have more germination, shoot length, root length, collar diameter, mycorrhizal  colonization, colonization and nutrient content as compared to other four tree species.

Keywords: Prosopis cineraria, Dalbergia sissoo, Eucalyptus tereticornis, Azadirachta indica Ailanthus excels, arbuscular mycorrhiza
