A study was conducted under green house nursery condition on the efficacy of seven indigenous arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi in the improvement of growth, biomass and nutrition in the roots and leaves of Solanum xanthocarpum Schrad. and Wendl. Seedlings were raised in polythene bags containing soil inoculated with isolates of seven different indigenous AM fungi, viz. Acaulospora scrobiculata, Archaeospora trappei, Glomus aggregatum, Glomus fasciculatum, Glomus pakistanika, Gigapora margarita and scutellospora persica. S.xanthocarpum seedlings raised in the presence of AM fungi generally showed an increase in plant growth, biomass and nutritional status over those grown in the absence of AM fungi. The extent of growth, biomass and nutritional status enhanced by AM fungi varied with the species of AM  fungi inhabiting the roots and leaves of S.xanthocarpum seedlings. Considering the various plant growth parameters and nutritional status in the roots and leaves of S. xanthocarpum, it was observed that Glomus aggregatum is the best AM symbiont for S. xanthocarpum used in this experiment.
