The study was conducted to assess the association of Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi (AMF) in maize from three different jhum fallows. The jhum fallows are of three different years i.e., 1-3 years, 4-6 years and 7-10 years. Root samples were taken from maize to study colonization of AMF and spores were recovered from the rhizosphere region of the roots. It was observed that soil properties, rainfall pattern as well as human exploitation affect AMF colonization of roots.
