Abstract
Vesicular - arbuscular mycorrhizal (VAM) status, characterized by per cent incidence, infection grading and spore density in root zone soils of five drought tolerant and an equal number of susceptible accessions of cocoa revealed that VAM incidence and infection grading in root samples and spore density in soil, was significantly higher in drought tolerant accessions when compared to drought susceptible accessions. With regard to the occurrence of VAM species, Glomus versiforme was encountered in higher frequencies and also in the rhizosphere of more number of plants belonging to the drought tolerant group.
