The present study aimed to evaluate the physicochemical properties of soil and their relationship with arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) colonization in association with Capsicum frutescens L., across seasonal variations at three distinct sites: pre-monsoon, monsoon, and post-monsoon. Rhizospheric soil samples were collected from each site and analysed for a range of parameters, including soil moisture content, temperature, bulk density, porosity, pH, available potassium, total nitrogen, available phosphorus, organic carbon, organic matter, texture, and AMF colonization. Among the seasonal periods, the monsoon season exhibited the highest level of AMF colonization. Significant positive correlations were observed between AMF colonization and key soil parameters such as temperature, organic matter, organic carbon, moisture content, and pH during the monsoon season, suggesting that these factors contribute to a more conducive environment for AMF establishment. Overall, the findings suggest that both seasonal variation and soil physicochemical properties play a key role in influencing AMF colonization in the rhizospheric soil of C. frutescens L.
