A pot experiment was conducted with sterilized soil to study the effect of P2O5 and mycorrhizal fungus on growth of Medicago sativa. Inoculation with Gigaspora rosea had no significant effect on plant growth over the respective/uninoculated controls, while with dual inoculation, (Glomus etunicatum + Glomus intraradices) the increase was significantly higher both in the presence or absence of phosphorus. The maximum shoot dry weight with dual inoculation was 12.57g at 0 kg P2O5 ha-1 and 12.01g at 25 kg P2O5 ha-1, while root dry weight was 3.68 g at 0 kg P2O5 ha-1 and 3.52 g at 25 kg P2O5 ha-1.
