Abstract

Mycorrhizal infection with seedlings was maximum by Suillus luteus fungus in grass litter amended soil and minimum by Pisolithus tinctorius in fresh pine needle amended soil. Production of mycorrhizae was maximum by S. luteus fungus in grass litter amended soil and minimum in those seedling inoculated with P. tinctorius grown in unamended soil. Root phosphatase activity was more with mycobionts inoculatese activity of root was observed in seedlings inoculated with S. luteus and grown in grass litter amended soil. In general nutrient concentration recorded higher in the seedlings inoculated with the mycobionts grown in amended soil than uninoculated one.
