Abstract

Populus deltoides was inoculated with Glomus constrictum, Glomus mosseae, Glomus fasciculatum, Gigaspora gilmorei and Acaulospora levis in nutrient deficient sterilized soil. Plants inoculated with these mycorrhizal fungi encouraged plant height, collar diameter, total number of leaves and mycorrhizal colonization. Among these, Glomus fasciculatum responded best for Populus deltoides, thereby indicating the need of mycorrhizal inoculation to derive maximum benefit for growth in Populus deltoides.
