mycoremediation

The study was performed to observe the effects of Arbuscular Mycorrhizal fungi.Glomus hoi and metals on growth parameters of wheat (Triticumaestivum L.) variety Raj4238underpot trials.There were two sets of experimentto study effect of Iron and Chromium effect respectively in mycorrhizal and non-mycorrhizalwheat plants. The dosages of metal were framed on the basis of recommended levels for plants. The application of Glomus hoi showed significant reduction in metal stress and better growth, biomass, improved physiological state and higher yields were recorded in mycorrhizal plants as compared to non-mycorrhizal plants. In general, AM fungi protected the wheat plants against metal toxicity and also improved the nutrients contents of plants. Thus the studyadvocates the use of AMFto mycoremediate metal toxicity and to have better crop yield.
