Peach seedlings inoculated with Glomus mosseae, G. fasciculatum and Gigaspora gilmorei each at 4 levels of phosphorus grown for 270 days revealed that plant height, dry weight of shoot and root increased with inoculation of different VA-mycorrhizae at 100 mg P/kg soil but Glomus fasciculatum was most effective as compared to G. mosseae and Gigaspora gilmorei. Similarly, different VA-mycorrhizae significantly increased the nutrient status as well as their uptake by the plants. The highest N, P, K and Mg contents and uptake were recorded with G. fasciculatum.
