Abstract

Lycopersicon esculentum Mill. (Tomato) is an important source of vitamin C or tartaric acid and universally used as most valuable, stable horticultural crop. A large number of varieties are introduced in the field.  Considering the fact that not much data is available on effect of AM fungi on growth performance of Tomato varieties, the present study was planned to investigate the effect of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi on growth and chlorophyll content of Tomato. A significant increase in Tomato over control in shoot length and their dry weight, was recorded. Changes in chlorophyll contents of a, b and total chlorophyll were also observed. It is clear from the observation that the inoculation of Tomato plants with AM fungi was helpful in enhancing the growth and chlorophyll content.
