A potted experiment arranged in a 5 × 3 factorial in a randomized complete block design was undertaken to investigate the occurrence of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) in the soil of five leguminous plants:  Cajanus cajan  (L.) Huth,  Centrosema pascuorum  Martius ex Benth,  Crotalaria ochroleuca  G. Don,  Lablab purpureus  (L.) Sweet and  Mucuna pruriens  (L.) DC. The effects of varying phosphorus concentrations (P0) (0 kg/ha of single superphosphate), P1 (100 kg/ha of single superphosphate) and P2 (200 kg/ha of single superphosphate) on the population of AMF spores under these legumes were also carried out. The AMF spores in soil samples were extracted at 19 weeks after planting, using the wet sieving and decanting method, and enumerated with the aid of a stereoscopic microscope. Spores of different species of genera  Glomus  and  Gigaspora  were encountered in the soils of the five leguminous plants. Spores of  Glomus  species predominated while the spores of  Gigaspora  species were found in lower numbers. The total AMF population was significantly affected by legume species ( p  ≤ 0.05). The total AMF spore counts were higher in the soils of  Mucuna pruriens  and  Crotolaria ochroleuca  ( p  ≤ 0.05). The populations of  Glomus mossae  in soils decreased with increasing level of applied phosphorus ( p  ≤ 0.05). A positive correlation was recorded between the total AMF spores, the predominant AMF spores and soil pH, while the organic matter content and the available phosphorus were negatively correlated with both the total AM spores and the predominant AMF spores.
