ABSTRACT

Fifty four species of medicinal Plants were investigated for Vesicular-arbuscular mycorrhizal (VAM)
status in Gar-Panchakot hills, in Dhara area of Purulia District of southwest Bengal. VAM was
observed in almost all plants. Great variations were found in VAM infection percentage from plant
to plant even from season to season. Plants in rainy season showed highest VAM infection
percentage than winter and summer. Number of vesicles increased in winter but rainy season
encouraged more arbuscules than vesicles. More than one type of mycorrhizal hyphae and vesicles
were observed in majority of plants depending upon season and sites.
Key words: VA-Mycorrhizae, Root Colonization, Seasonal variations, medicinal plants
