Screening of indigenous arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi was undertaken on Triticum sativum Lam. The results revealed that the magnitude of improvement varied with different fungal inoculant. Rhizophagus fasciculatus influence plants growth, chlorophyll content in leaves, leaf area, biomass yield percent root colonization, spore number, seed yield. It was followed by second AM fungi Glomus macrocarpum and thirdly Glomus bagyarajii as suitable strains for wheat. This kind of important was not observed in control or non inoculated wheat. Therefore, selection of a native AM fungal strains play role in uptake of N and P with soil conditions.
