  abstract = {{I}n {M}adagascar, rice production is low (2 t ha(-1)) and does not cover the needs of the population. {T}o satisfy the food requirements, there is a need to develop agriculture on highland areas called "tanety". {S}oils of tanety have low nutrients availability, particularly phosphorus which is the main plant growth limiting factor (soil solution < 0.1 mg {P} l(-1)). {A}rbuscular mycorrhizal ({AM}) symbiosis is widely recognized to have high significance for tropical agriculture, particularly for plant {P} nutrition. {T}he mycorrhizal status of some wild and cultivated plants was determined. {R}oots were sampled in two locations: the highlands and in the cliff-east. {AM} development (internal vesicles and hyphae) was estimated by microscopic examination. {F}or the first time several native plants from {M}adagascar were reported as forming arbuscular mycorrhizae. {C}rop plants from the highlands were less colonized by {AM} fungi than wild species, whereas cultivated and wild plants from fallows areas were highly colonized by {AM} fungi. {I}n highlands, for a long time, dry plants were burnt in furrows to release mineral nutrients. {T}his practice is suspected to have decreased {AM} fungi population. {F}our {AM} fungi were isolated from colonized roots. {T}wo of them were identified as {G}. fasciculatum. {T}hey were successfully propagated on leek growing on red pouzzolane. {T}he efficiency of these isolates was tested in comparison with a strain of {G}lomus intraradices and found to be more efficient.},
