Growth and mycorrhizal colonization of maize (7-ea stays L.) genotypes inresponse to two arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) species viz. Glomus mosseae Nic. andGerd. and G. monosporum Gerd. and Trap was tested in pot trials under normalenvironmental and soil conditions. Four maize varieties viz. 3025-W, 3012-DS,2002-SP and 2002-Sadaf were used in the experiment. A variable plant growthand mycorrhizal colonization response was exhibited by different varieties tothe two introduced AM species. In general, G. mosseae inoculation inducedhigher mycorrhizal colonization as compared to G. monosponan. Consequentlyparallel plant growth response to G. mosseae inculcation was recorded. Variousplant growth and mycorrhizal parameters exhibited positive correlation in G.mosseae inoculated plants. Among the four test varieties, 3025-W was found tobe superior with respect to its response to mycorrhizal inoculation with G.mosseae.
