Abstract

Tecomella undulata (Sm.) Seem. commonly known as “Marwar teak” is an indigenous species of arid regions of Rajasthan. The species is slow growing and commonly planted in agroforestry systems. It is a multipurpose tree species as it is used as fodder and furniture purposes. The wood is good for carving and used for making best quality furniture. VAM association occurs naturally in desert plants including T. undulata. These fungi play a significant role in arid zone forestry as they not only provide additional support to the plants through minerals but also help in survival of the plants in harsh climatic conditions. In the present paper, efficient strain of VAMF was selected for better biomass production, percentage of root colonization in T. undulata seedlings.
