It’s highly grown for its remarkable medicinal uses. Apart from medicinal properties and importance; Turmeric has not been emphasized much with respect to agricultural view. Sustainable agriculture is need of hour and hence it must be brought in practice on large scale. Arbuscular Mycorrhizal (AM) fungi has mutually beneficial relationship with the roots and support plants during biotic and abiotic stress. The function of AM fungi in different morphological parameters when Turmeric under biotic stress shows scanty records so far. Existing research studies are intended to evaluate an influence of AM fungi on Turmeric plant during biotic stress. During this investigation Turmeric plants were assessed for Growth and Vigour Index, relative mycorrhizal dependency, some biochemical contents and fresh weight of the rhizome. Statistical analysis of the results obtained showed strongly significant results. https://www.agriculturejournal.org/volume11number2/effect-of-am-fungi-on-infectivity-of-pythium-aphanidermatum-in-curcuma-longa-l/ AM fungi; GVI; infectivity; Nematodes; Pythium aphanidermatum; Proteins RMD; rhizome
