Abstract
Rhizosphere soil samples of Carthamus tinctorius L. from different locations of Telangana, India, were screened for the association and species diversity of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF). A total of 42 AM fungal species were recorded representing six genera, which include Acaulospora, Glomus, Gigaspora, Scutellospora, Funneliformis, and Entrophospora. The results indicate that AM fungal spore abundance and diversity are high in the areas studied with Glomus, the most common and widely distributed genus among the Glomeromycotan genera represented by 16 species suggesting its predominance in all the soils surveyed. Shannon-Weaver index of diversity (H´â€…) was highest (3.353) in Adilabad and lowest (3.045) in Sangareddy soils. AM spore density and total number of species exhibited a significantly negative correlation with the moisture content (r = -0.970**, p < 0.01, and r = -0.828*, p < 0.05, respectively), between spore density and available P in the soil (r = -0.888**, p < 0.01) and spore density and total number of species showed significantly negative correlation with available potassium (r = -0.888**, r = -0.906**, p < 0.01, respectively). Spore density and species richness showed no correlation with soil factors pH, electron conductivity, organic carbon, and available N. Glomus fasciculatum was found to be dominant species with highest relative spore density. It will be beneficial to isolate indigenous AMF associated with the host plants and use them as bioinoculant to improve plant health and soil quality.
