| Abstract/Description: | Mycorrhizal fungi are a diverse group of organisms having different symbiotic associations between plants and fungi in awide range of terrestrial ecosystems. Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi (AMF) provides most of the soil nutrients and dissolvedminerals to the plants. In the present study, a survey was conducted to find out the different spore populations of AMF indifferent banana cultivars in India. Totally, 112 rhizospheric soil samples belongs to approximately 8 different soil types werecollected from different banana growing regions of India and analysed for the presence of AMF genera and their sporedensity. The results revealed that a maximum of 50.8% of AMF spores present in clay type soil and a minimum of 0.2% in siltyclay and loamy soil. Finally, AMF spores were isolated from 35 different banana germplasm accessions and observed thepresence of 3 different genera viz., Glomus (7 species), Acaulospora (2 species) and Scutellospora (2 species). It was alsonoted that a total of 91.1% of AMF spores isolated were belong to Glomus sp. representing that it was the most dominatingAMF spores in banana germplasm accessions. Thus, AM fungi was found to be associated with banana in all the locations surveyed and the population of these fungi was observed with high level of spores density |
