ISOLATION OF VAM FROM DEHRADUN AND A STUDY FOR DETERMINING BIOSYNERGISTIC EFFECTS OF VAM STRENGTHENING POSSIBLE FUTURE STRATEGY DESIGN FOR ERADICATING SOIL POLLUTION

Vesicular arbuscular mycorrhiza (VAM) possesses many properties for enhancing plant growth when used in synergy with other microbes and replenish soil. The collected samples contained species like Glomus, Acaulospora, Gigaspora were isolated and were found to colonize with Fenugreek (Trigonella foenum-graecum) in fertilizer free soil. The growth parameters of plants like root, shoot and leaf etc. were examined and were compared with control which represented plants growing in VAM free soil. It was deduced that the plants growing without VAM presence in soil depicted lower growth potentials. This strengthens the benefit and possibilities of VAM usage as biofertilizers or in tandem with some other organic fertilizers.
