The effect of various pH (5.5, 6.5, 7.5 and 8.5) and temperature (20, 25 and 30 deg. C) on germination of spores of Glomus fasciculatum on 1% water agar was studied. Maximum germination (81.3%) occurred at pH 6.5 at 25 deg. C. Spore germination was also studied with other nutrient media such as corn meal agar, modified Hepper medium, charcoal agar (0.01%) and soil extract agar. A significant increase was observed in charcoal agar and soil extract agar (+13.4% and +10.9% respectively)
