ABSTRACT
A study was conducted regarding arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) spore density in
weeds plants of soil selected from the Tehsil Tangi. The spore density was observed in all
weeds plants in the host growth stage. The maximum arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi (AMF)
spore density was found in the Chenopodium album (93.00±74.02) and Scandix iberica
(89.00±92.08) at the vegetative stage. The Glomus species is dominant in the rhizospheric
soil of weeds plants followed by Aculospora, and Sclerocystis. The lowest Glomus spore
density is present in Fumaria parviflora (10.67±15.89). The spore density of AMF had a
strong positive correlation with soil pH and a negative correlation with the Phosphors
content of the soil. The highest vesicles are investigated Euphorbia heliscopia (14.33±9.5)
and the lowest in Cirsium arvense (3.33±1.53). Arbuscules were high in Euphorbia
heliscopia (18.67±18.72) and lowest in Cirsium arvense (2.00±1.73). The highest External
hyphae were found in Silene conidia (4.00±1.73) and lowest in Anagallis arvensis. Internal
hyphae were in Ranunculus muricatus (6.33±5.13) and lowest in Melilotus indica
(0.67±0.58). While absent in Brassica nigra (Brassicaceae).
