Forty species of AMF belonging to five genera such as Glomus, Acaulospora, Gigaspora, Sclerocystis and Scutellospora were recorded and identified. Glomus fistulosum was noticed as the moist dominant in the polluted. In the non-polluted soils,all the plant species were colonized with AM fungi. Where as in polluted soils, eight herb species only were colonized and the percentage of root colonization was less. ER -
