Present study revealed that the seasonal variations of arbuscular mycorrhial fungi in different cultivars of sugarcane were studied from five different study sites and correlated with physicochemical analyses.Root colonization was found maximum in winter season among studied cultivars.The maximum root colonization was found in Co86032 (70.91%) while minimum in Co8371 (24.53%) of winter season. Per cent root length colonization was maximum in Co8611 (44.86%) followed by C086032 (34.53%) in winter while minimum in Co8371 (7.97%) in monsoon. Hyphal, vesicular and arbuscular types of colonization was observed in all cultivars.The highest spore density was observed in cultivar Co740 (867±2.1) followed by Co7114 (823±5.22) in winter season while minimum in Co8611 (266±4.12) in monsoon. The AM fungal spore species diversitywas observed in Co740 and Co7114 cultivars.Acaulospora and Glomus genera were found dominant.
