Abstract
Effect of VA mycorrhiza and soluble phosphorus onAbelmoscus esculentus (L.) Moench was studied in a phosphorus deficient sandy loam soil with pH 5.5. The mycorrhizal infection and spore production were reduced by an increase of added soluble phosphorus. Root, shoot and total plant dry weight were significantly greater in mycorrhizal plants than in non-mycorrhizal controls, at all levels of added soluble P. Mycorrhizal dependency was found to decrease with increase in added soluble P. Depression of growth, as compared with growth at 100% was noticed in mycorrhizal plants when 200% of the recommended P was added.
