Abstract

The effect of VAM fungi on phosphorus uptake in three cultivars of okra were studied .The experimental data revealed that in cultivar Parbhani kranti the phosphorus content per 100 gm ash was found less in control plant as compared to the plants inoculated by Glomus fasciculatum and Gigaspora gigantea., In Arkanamika, the maximum phosphorus content was found in plants, inoculated by Glomus fasciculatum and Gigaspora gigantea.while in selection – 51, the less amount of phosphorus was noted in control plants than  mycorrhizal plant.
