The inevitability of arbuscular mycorrhiza for sustainability in organic agriculture—A critical review

The arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) are significant fertility-promoting microbes in soils. They enable soil fertility, soil-health and boost crop productivity. There generalist specialist groups among AMF natural Optimized use of specific concerning crops soils can improve agricultural sustainability. Thus, is becoming an inevitable biological tool for improving productivity health. Especially the context chemicalized agriculture undermining sustainability food security, safety, human ecosystem health, alternative means have become inevitable. Therefore, has essential nature-friendly, organic agriculture. Of such farm fields, activity enhanced to sustain fertility. Crops show increased innate immunity against pests diseases many systems. Moreover, ecosystems remain healthy, teeming with life farms. primary goal review was a thorough critical analysis literature on assess its efficiency as ecotechnological sustainable novelty that this first comprehensive all aspects A vital systematic approach exhaustive collected using regular databases theme followed synthesizing review. revealed essentiality utilizing species, individually or consortia, diverse environmental settings ensure production.
