Abstract
A study was conducted to identify common arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi present in rhizosphere of Jatropha curcas L., an important bio-diesel crop, from different arid and semi arid regions of India viz., Jodhpur (Rajasthan), Hissar (Haryana), Jhansi and Lalitpur (Uttar Pradesh) and Hyderabad (Andhra Pradesh). A total of 20 AM species were recorded, which consisted of two species of Acaulospora and 18 species of Glomus. The highest frequency of occurrence was recorded for Glomus intraradix (100%), followed by Acaulospora scrobiculata (83%), G. etunicatum (50%) and Glomus 1 (50%). Maximum species richness was recorded at Jodhpur, followed by Jhansi, Hissar, Hyderabad and Lalitpur. The results seem to suggest that species richness was more in arid regions as compared to semi arid areas.
