The present study deals with the diversity and distribution of VAMF at different sites with different selected plants. Maximum number of VAMF species were found at site IV (57 species) out of which Glomus species was most dominant (58%), followed by Acaulospora (19%), Scutellospora (8%), Sclerocystis (4.8%) and Gigaspora (1.6%) respectively. In site II 56 species of VAMF were observed with Glom...
