The effect of native dominant AM fungus Glomus aggregatum isolated from the rhizosphere soil of lndigofera aspalathoides Vahl. Ex DC and plant growth promoting rhizo-microorganisms (PGPRs) viz., Bacillus coagulans and Trichoderma viride on the growth and biochemical parameters of the medicinally important I. aspalathoides was studied in pot culture. Infection percentage and number of spores in the rhizosphere soil were higher in plants treated with triple inoculation (Glomus aggregatum + Bacillus coagulans + Trichoderma viride). Dry matter content of I. Aspalathoides was high in dual inoculation (G. aggregatum + B. coagulans) whereas plant height, protein and amino acid contents were higher in triple inoculation. The macro- and micronutrients of the test plant except manganese were also higher in G. aggregatum and PGPRs treated plants than the uninoculated control.
