Abstarct: One way to increase tolerance to environmental stresses and increase the yield of crop plants is the use of mycorrhizal fungi. Soil inoculation with mycorrhizal growth and yield in the laboratory and in the field increases. In this experiment three species of mycorrhizal fungi application of cadmium stress on the growth and yield of soybean were studied in a pot experiment. This factorial experiment in a randomized complete block design in three replications. Treatments consisted of 4 levels including control mycorrhizal fungi (a1), Glomus Mosseae (a2), G.intraradices (a3) and G.fasciculatum (a4) and 4 levels of cadmium (cadmium nitrate form), including zero (b1), 20 (b2 ), 40 (b3) and 60 (b4) mg per kg of soil. The results of this study showed that mycorrhiza dry weight of roots, stems, leaves and leaf area as well as the amount of cadmium absorbed by aerial percent of root colonization, root volume and the amount of chlorophyll (a) and chlorophyll is increased in the presence of mycorrhizal fungi. In front of cadmium decreases in dry weight of roots, stems, leaves and leaf area. Cadmium also significantly reduced the volume of roots, plant height and number of branches in concentrations of 20, 40 and 60 mg cadmium. The interaction between mycorrhiza and cadmium shoot dry weight (second sampling) and significant amount of cadmium absorbed by the shoot so that with increasing concentrations of cadmium and symbiotic mycorrhizal fungi increase the value of this attribute to the absence of mycorrhiza was observed. In general, the survey results suggest that application of mycorrhiza increased plant growth, increase plant tolerance to cadmium stress, helps the body absorb more cadmium from the soil and morphological and physiological traits were improved.
