Dept. of Forestry & Wood Tech., Faculty of Agriculture; Alexandria University , Alexandria, Egypt. -VA- mycorrhizae associated with different plant species irrigated with sewage water. A study was carried out to identify Vesicular-arbuscular mycorrhizae spores associated with different plants grown in the reclaimed soils of New Burg El-Arab city. One year old trees were used for planting in January 1994. The pH of soil was 8.1 with E.C. 3.41 and 9.38 dS/m. The salinity of soil increased with using the sewage water. The Na content increased until 52.75 meq./L and Cl content was 59.32 meq./L after one year from planting. The pH of sewage water was 7.7, with E.C 2.29 to 3.25 dS/m. The survey of VAM spores showed that nine species were associated with the different plant species. The identified species were Acaulospora foveata, A. laevis, A. scrobiculata A. spinosa, A. tuberculata, Glomus claroideum , G. convolutum, G. mosseae and G. tortuosum.
