Abstract
A pot culture experiment was conducted to study the effect of soil amendment with different forms of groundnut waste on spore population and root infection of indigenous Arbuscular Mycorrhizal fungal species i.e. Glomus mosseae under polyhouse conditions. Two angiospermic plant species viz. sorghum and sesame were also examined for mycorrhization potential in the study. Observations were made for percent root colonization, spore density of AM fungi and the effectiveness of AM fungi on the shoot and root biomass of both host plants. The results indicated that AM fungal spore population and colonization levels were substantially enhanced by the application of compost groundnut waste as a substrate over dry groundnut waste. Among growth parameters, plant height, root length and plant biomass were recorded more in sorghum than Sesame. On the whole, mycorrhization was reported the highest with 75 g/pot concentration of waste. Also, Sorghum appeared to be a better host than sesame.
