Abstract	Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) have been used to enhance the plant growth and yield to maintain good health and fertility that contributes great extents to a sustainable product. The study was undertaken to identify the responses of antioxidant enzymes activities in tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.Var PMK 1 and Vaibhav) inoculated with AM fungi. The Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) increased the antioxidant enzyme activities such as Superoxide dismutase (SOD) and Catalase (CAT) activity in roots of inoculated plants, indicating lower oxidative damage in the colonized plants. It can be concluded that the mycorrhiza helps tomato plants by enhancing the antioxidant activity compared to non-mycorrhizal plants. Therefore, inoculation of indigenous AM fungi is recommended at seedling stage.
