Glomus mosseae inoculation significantly increased number of nodules in both the tree species but to varied extent. Acacia nilotica exhibited higher number of nodules. VAM inoculation significantly increased N, P and K concentration of root and shoot in both the tree species whereas P fertilization increased P in shoots of A. nilotica. Roots exhibited significantly higher N and P in A. nilotica and phosphorus and potassium in D. sissoo.
