    abstract = {A pot experiment was conducted to investigate the effects of Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungus (AMF), <I>Glomus deserticola</I>, on the growth of <I>Gliricidia sepium</I> under 0, 50 and 100 mg Pkg <SUP>1</SUP> levels of phosphorus fertilization. Inoculation with AMF increased dry matter yield at all levels of applied Phosphorus (P) in both sterile and non-sterile soils while P fertilization at 100 mg P kg <SUP>1</SUP> soil level in conjunction with AMF inoculation increased the dry matter yield by 269.2 and 107.7% in sterile and non-sterile soils, respectively. P fertilization increased arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi colonization but decreased mycorrhizal dependency. Colonization by indigenous AMF was, however, significantly (p< 0.01) reduced at 100 mg P kg <SUP>1</SUP> soil fertilization. Foliar nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium yields were significantly (p< 0.01) increased by AMF inoculation.}
