Abstract

Assessment of some coastal psammophytes for AM fungal association

Author(s): Vishal R. Kamble and Ramjan M. Mulani

Present paper deals with assessment of Arbuscular Mycorrhizal (AM) Fungal association in some psammophytes from a sandy beach at Murud Dapoli in Maharashtra which is under great pressure of anthropogenic activities like tourism and is accelerating sand erosion effect vigorously. Results obtained suggest that Fabaceae members (Crotalaria retusa L, Crotalaria vericosa L. and Derris trifoliata Lour.) were found as dominated AM Fungi associating psamophytes. While Pandanus fascicularis Lam. along the beach areas was encountered with highest percentage colonization.
