Abstract

Studies were undertaken on occurrence of Glomus spp. in rhizosphere soils of apple orchards in north western Himalayas. Investigation revealed occurrence of G. caledonicum, G geosporum., G. globiterum, G. gerdemannii, G. halonatus, G. flavisporum, G. mosseae, G. dimorphicum, G. melanosporum, G. tubaeforme, G. aggregatum, G. australe, G. macrocarpum, G. manihotene, G. reticulatum and G. maculosum in apple rhizosphere soils. DNA amplification pattern in delicious group seedlings showed amplification pattern at 300bp and 750 bp while Glomus infected seedlings showed amplification at 100 bp.
