Vam status of different agricultural soils and its effect on the growth of Sorghum bicolor

Vesicular Arbuscular Mycorrhizal (VAM) symbiosis is an essential component of plant community, which plays unique role in uptake of nutrients by the plants. Present study was undertaken to investigate VAM status of different agricultural fields, and to observe its effect growth of Sorghum bicolor. Higher VAM infection percentage was observed in non-agricultural soil, where available organic carbon was low. It was also observed that, mycorrhizal infection resulted in stimulated the growth of Sorghum bicolor.
