Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi (AMF) for soil fertility

Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: Mycorrhizal symbiosis affects 80% of terrestrial plant species. It increases their defensive power against soil-borne pathogens by synthesising antibiotics and promoting the microbial flora in the fungal mantle. The study will analyse current knowledge of soil fertility, water and mineral nutrition, and plant growth. The study shows that the establishment of symbiosis is largely controlled by the fertilization regime. Phosphorus and nitrogen are the major elements responsible for plant growth. However, plant requirements for mineral elements are not limited to phosphorus and nitrogen. Other elements, such as Sulphur and trace elements like copper, zinc, iron and manganese, are also essential.
