Vesicular-arbuscular mycorrhizal inoculation significantly increased the plant growth and vigour, i.e., plant height, root-shoot dry weight in both Acacia nilotica and Dalbergia sissoo seedlings. Both pathogens, i.e., Rhizoctonia solani and Fusarium oxysporum significantly reduced survival percentage as compared to control. Previously VAM inoculated plants, significantly increased the survival percentage against both R. solani and F. oxysporum in A. nilotica.
