Abstract

Root and soil samples collected from varying distance and depths in the rhizosphere of five elite coconut palms were processed for arbuscular mycorrhizal fungal (AMF) population estimation. Samples were collected every month for a period of one year. Maximum number of resting spores of AMF were recovered at a distance of one meter away from the bole of the coconut palm within a depth of 26 to I00 cm from the soil surface. All type of roots of coconut palm harboured AMF. However, maximum colonization was noticed in the fine yellowish brown to light brown tertiary roots of coconut.
