An enzymal activity experimental study was done in maize (Zea mays L.) of variety COHM5 using arbuscular mycorrhizae (AM) inoculated(M+) and non-inoculated with Glomus intraradices. Roots and shoots sampled at 15, 30 and 45 days after sowing (DAS) were estimated for total chlorophyll content, peroxidase, catalase, phenol and polyphenol oxidase, humic acid, fulvic acid, Biomass C, Biomass N, Pep case and soluble protein. Elevated CO2 with mycorrhizal inoculation significantly increases total chlorophyll content, antioxidative enzymes (peroxidase, catalase, phenol and polyphenol oxidase), humic acid, fulvic acid, Biomass C, Biomass N. But in case of Pep case and soluble protein activity increases in 370 ppm than 550 and 750 ppm its because of denaturation of enzyme activity was more pronounced as crop duration increases with the inoculation of VAM.
