The study aimed to determine the presence and composition of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) in the rhizospheric soils and roots of vegetable plants (14 species of leafy vegetables) grown in Hoc Mon, Cu Chi, and Binh Chanh districts, Ho Chi Minh city. The results of the isolation of AMF spores based on the wet sieving method showed the presence of AMF in the rhizospheric soils of vegetables with an average spore density of 87.6 spores/50 g of soil. For the symbiotic ratio of AMF to the root tissues, there was no symbiosis in 4 vegetable crops, including amaranth, mustard green, leaf mustard, and bok choy. Still, there was symbiosis in the remaining 10 plants, with an average symbiotic rate of 6.6%. Identification of AMF spores based on the morphological characteristics recorded in all the soil samples appeared spore phenotypes of 5 fungal genera including Glomus, Acaulospora, Gigaspora, Scutellospora, and Sclerocystis. However, 3 morphological types were not yet identified. From the obtained results, two genera, Glomus and Acaulospora, have the highest frequency at 43.9 and 39.6%, respectively.
