Abstract

Seven different hosts,Panicum maximum, Chrysopogon fulvis, Themeda triandra, Chloris gayana, Brachiaria brizantha, Paspalum scrobiculatum andEleusine coracana were screened in order to select a better host for mass multiplication ofGlomus fasciculatum inoculum. Of these,Chloris gayana (Rhodes grass) was found to be the best host on the basis of root colonization and spore production and of the infective propagules of the potball.
