Pot experiments were conducted on rajmash inoculated with three native vesicular-arbuscular mycorrhizal (VAM) fungi, namely Gigaspora albida, Glomus mosseae and Sclerocystis sinuosa. These were inoculated either alone or in combination with potassium phosphate (KH,PO). Plants treated with VAM fungus+dose KH,PO, enhanced growth and yield of rajmash. Any of the three VÂM fungi alone or P-fertilizers helped plants to grow better than control but independently these were lesser than those given combined inoculum. The combined inoculum also altered the biochemical constituents such as total soluble sugars, ortho-dihydric phenols and flavanols in the leaves of plants when inoculated with G. mossene+dose phosphorus. Wax content was maximum on leaf surface in the plants inoculated with S.sinuosa+dose phosphorus. The extent of root colonization affected the plant growth, P- content, metabolites and yield.
