Abstract
The Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungal diversity was studied in seven plants from the agricultural fields of Kanhauri village, district Rewari, Haryana. The rhizospheric soils and roots were collected from the plants of Brassica juncea, Allium cepa, Chenopodium album, Argemone mexicana, Parthenium hysterophorus, Solanum xanthocarpum and Cannabis sativa in the month of March 2021. Rhizospheric soils were screened for the presence of Arbuscular Mycorrhizal fungal spores by wet sieving and decanting method of Gerdeman and Nicolson (1963). The roots were checked for percent root colonization by Phillips and Hayman method (1970). Based on morphological characters of spores, species belonging to eight genera (Racocetra, Dentiscutata, Funeliformis, Rhizophagus, Glomus, Acaulospora & Sclerocystis) were identified. Maximum spore density, species richness & root colonization were observed in Solanum xanthocarpum. Rhizophagus was the dominant genera and Funneliformis mosseae had the highest isolation frequency. Root colonization in the plants was in the form of hyphae, arbuscules, vesicles and auxillary cells. The soils are sandy loam with a pH of 6.69, total Nitrogen 0.21%, available phosphorus 22.7Kg/hectare, Potassium 27ppm and organic matter 2.24%.
