Abstract: Present paper deals with assessment of Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AM) associated with different
populations of Pandanus fascicularis found in coastal region of Konkan Maharashtra. All samples of P.
fascicularis roots were colonized by AM fungi. The mean percentage of root length colonization ranged from
39% to 74%. Amongst the thirteen AM fungal morphospecies Kuklospora colombiana was the most widely
distributed species. Species richness of AM fungi ranged from 3 to 6. Based on spore density and relative
abundance, three species were
