The present investigation aimed to quantify the difference in response of twoPhaseolus mungoL. cultivars (i.e., UH-1 and IPU-94-1) toGlomus mosseae(G), that is,Funneliformis mosseae,Acaulospora laevis(A), andTrichoderma viride(T), in different combinations or alone. All the treatments were inoculated withBradyrhizobium japonicumto ensure nodulation as soil used in the experiment was sterilized. After 120 days of inoculation, plants were analyzed for chlorophyll content, nodulation, mycorrhization, leaf area, and protein content. Results indicate variation in growth response of two cultivars with different treatments. Triple inoculation of plants with G + A + T proved to be the best treatment for growth followed by G + T in both cultivars. Our work allowed the selection ofP. mungoL. cultivar UH-1 as highly mycorrhizal responsive as compared to IPU-94-1 andG. mosseaeto be an efficient bioinoculant as compared toA. laevisfor growth enhancement ofP. mungo. Further characterization ofP. mungogenotypes will enhance our knowledge of physiological and genetic mechanism behind increase in plant growth and yield due to AM symbiosis.
