Abstract
Eight different locally obtained Glomus species, including G. pallidum, G. mosseae, G. fasciculatum, G. etunicatum and G. monosporum, were inoculated into bean, broadbean and chickpea plants to examine their effect on plant growth. The most effective in growth stimulation for all these inoculated crops were G. fasciculatum 2 and G. mosseae 2 while G. mosseae 1 and 2 were the most effective in colonizing the roots of bean, broadbean and chickpea plants. Glomus mosseae 2 increased the shoot growth of beans, broadbeans and chickpeas by 52, 117 and 190%, respectively. No relation was found between shoot growth and the degree of mycorrhizal infection.
