Summary Effect of five fungicidesviz Agrosan. Benlate, Captan, Ceresan and Plantavax on VA mycorrhizal symbiosis in onion was studied in a phosphorus deficient, sandy loam soil. Two levels of fungicides (2.5 μg and 25 μg/g soil) were applied to the soil. Agrosan, Benlate and Plantavax applied at 25 μg/g soil reduced the mycorrhizal colonization significantly. All the fungicides, except Captan, applied at lower concentration reduced plant growth and P uptake. Captan applied at the lower concentration had no effect on mycorrhizal colonization, plant growth and P uptake, and when applied at higher concentration had least effect on plant growth compared to other fungicides.
