Abstract

Mycorrhizal association of orchids in a tropical forest of Southern India. The mycorrhizae of epiphytic and terrestrial orchids of Kodaikanal tropical forest of Western Ghats South India were studied. The epiphytic orchids were infected with Rhizoctonia sp. whereas the terrestrial orchids were infected with AM fungi. Five AM fungal species were identified viz. Glomus aggregatum G. ambisporum G. fasciculatum G. mosseae and Gigaspora alibida.
