Among tested varieties of C. cajan maximum colonization index was recorded in Konch, followed by Jalaun agricultural field and Madhaugarh agricultural field. Maximum spore count was recorded for Glomus-1 followed by Glomus mossae and acaulospora was least dominant in all three agricultural field samples.
