Prior establishment of VAM fungus, Glomus fasciciculatum by two weeks tended to mitigate the adverse effect of both Meloidogyne incognita and Tylenchorhynchus vulgaris on the plant growth of berseem. Gall formation by M. incognita, as also the multiplication of both the nematodes was reduced by 28–50 percent. Conversely, prior presence of nematodes reduced the percent root colonization by VAM fungi to some extent.
