  ABSTRACT: An experiment was conducted to assess the influence of arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi on the performance of Phaseolus vulgaris under crude oil contaminated soil. P. vulgaris was grown on soil under 2%, 4% and 8% (v/w) crude oil contamination. The experimental units were biostimulated with 2 g NPK fertilizer pot-1 and were inoculated with 12 g AM inoculum pot-1. Non inoculated pots served as control. The results showed that AM inoculated pots recorded higher and significantly (P P. vulgaris and TPH decomposition improved. This is evinced by the linear regression analysis between colonization and TPH (R2 = 0.77).
