Abstract
The present study deals with the occurrence of vesicular arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi in three cultivars of rice in Barak valley. Three cultivars of rice were Pankaj, Malati and Ranjit. The results revealed the association of VAM fungi in all the cultivars of rice. The association was maximum in Pankaj cultivar followed by Malati, and Ranjit, respectively, in all the three sampling phases. All the three cultivars of rice crop showed maximum soil spore population and number of VAM fungal species at the harvesting phase (135 DAS) and minimum at the phase of maturation (90 DAS). Glomus species were found dominating followed by Acaulospora species. Glomus microcarpum, Glomus claroideum, Glomus mosseae and Acaulospora scrobiculata were found in all the three fields.
