Abstract: Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi is used for crucial importance for their efficient use in environmental conservation and sustainable agriculture. Present research work showed occurrence and enumeration of AMF in Glycine max (L.) Merr. We surveyed rhizospheric soil samples from Tasgaon area of Sangli District of Maharashtra state India. Screening of soil samples depicted nine AM fungal taxa belonging to 3 genera based on spore were isolated from Glycine max. The dominant was present Glomus, Acaulospora and Scutellospora. AM fungi were isolated Glomus geosporum (Nicol. & Gerd.) C. Walker, Glomus multicaule Gerd. & B. K. Bakshi, Glomus macrocarpum Tul & C. Tul., Glomus constrictum Trappe, Glomus crenatum, Glomus spp., Acaulospora laevis (Walker & Sanders), Scutellospora spp Walker & Sanders., Acaulospora scrobiculata Trappe forming predominant species. Maximum population occurred at 90 days plant than vegetative 30 days plant.
