Abstract:

The colonization status of arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi of Melia azedarach L.
seedlings grown from seven different types of pre-sowing treated seeds and the spore
population in the rhizosphere soils were studied. The percent root colonization varied
significantly and ranged between 14.81-95.0 in different treatments. The superior
seedlings showed heavy root colonization as compared to otherseedlings. The intensity of
colonization and spore population also varied significantly in different treatments. Spore
population was not correlated with the percent root colonization and seedling growth
parameters. Four AM genera such Glomus, Acaidospora, Entrophospora and Gigaspora were
identified from the rhizosphere soils of the seedlings. The importance ofAM fungi has been
ensured from this study for the primary establishment of M. azedarach seedlings in the
nursery
