Abstract
The effects of three commonly used commercial formulations of fungicid es (carbendazim, captan and blitox) on vesicular-arbuscular mycorrhiza l development of sesamum when applied with 50-500 ppm a.i. at differen t timings were studied. Carbendazim and blitox, when applied to soil a fter 30 days of seed sowing significantly inhibited mycorrhizal coloni zation. Drenching the soil with blitox and captan just before seed sow ing tended to enhance mycorrhizal colonization.
