 ABSTRACT

The assortment of suitable AM fungi is essential to describe the native AM fungi population from the soil types. In the present study greenhouse pot experiments were carried out to Know the effect of six indigenous AM fungi were selected from chillies growing fields of Haveri by inoculating to the seedlings of cultivar G-4 of Capsicum annuum L. at green house conditions. The results revealed variedly with different AM fungi, experimental pots were maintained in sterile soil. The results obtained from the experiments were clearly evidence that the positive influence of Glomus macrocarpum Tulasne & Tulasne. on cultivar G-4 of Capsicum annuum L. plants in increasing plant height, root length, fresh weight of shoot and fresh weight of root, % root colonization, spore number and P uptake in shoot and root. The second AM fungus Gigaspora margarita Becker & Koske was influenced in all the different parameters it is followed by Sclerocystis dussi (Patouillard) von Hohnel. respectively. And thus an indigenous AM fungi play an important role over the control plants or non inoculated plants. This is mainly due to AM fungal species differ considerably in their efficiency to colonize and influenced plant growth biomass yield and nutrient uptake.

Keywords: Capsicum annuum L., Arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi, Glomus macrocarpum, Per cent root colonization, plant biomass, spore number, Haveri.
