Pot experiment was conducted in nursery condition of Department of Forestry, CCSHAU, Hisar. Soil of potting media inoculated with two mycorrhizal fungi i.e. Glomus intraradices and Acaulospora scrobiculata with different treatments and growth parameters i.e. seed germination percentage, shoot and root length, collar diameter, number of leaves, root and shoot biomass and root colonization, mycorrhizal dependency and seedling quality index were observed after three months of Ailanthus excelsa seeds were sown in the experimental pots and found that potting media containing field soil + FYM with individual mycorrhiza performed better than other treatments.
