A Field survey was conducted on Madhuca indica Gmel. rhizosphere where plants growing in the tropical deciduous forest zone ecosystem of Dharwad district, Karnataka. Twelve plantation and nursery sites of Madhuca indica growing place in Dharwad district was studied. A total of 10 different AM fungal species belonging to five genera viz., Acaulospora Glomus, Gigaspora Scutellospora and Sclerocystis. was isolated and identified from the rhizosphere .Among the different species of the genus Glomus, G. macrocapum was found to be the most frequent fungus (100%) followed by Sclerocystis dussii (83%) and G. mossae (58%) , with respect to nursery sites Glomus geosporum was found to be the most frequent AM fungus (92%) followed by Gigaspor candida (75%) and Scutellospora calospora (56%), overall dominant AM fungal distribution in rhizospheric soil of different sites genus Glomus (38%) was most predominantly observed which is followed Scutellospora (30%) and Sclerocystis (22%) only limited species of Gigaspora (8%) ,Acaulospora (2%) was recorded from this study. The distributions AM fungal average frequencies have been discussed.
