Four vesicular arbuscular mycorrhizal (VAM) fungi viz., Glomus mosseae, G. fasciculatum, G. intraradices and G. fulvum were screened to select efficient VAM fungi for management of Rotylenchulus reniformis in cotton (Gossypium barbadense) cv. TCB 209. Plants inoculated with G. fasciculatum were significantly better in all respects of plant growth, mycorrhizal colonization and yield of cotton. G. fasciculatum and G. mosseae were equally effective in reducing R. reniformis population in root and soil.
