Vineela Symbiotic, biofertilizers, soil, microbial, relationship 14-17 Volume 2 (1) January, 2026 Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) establish symbiotic relationships with the roots of most land plants, forming extensive hyphal networks that extend into the surrounding soil. These networks significantly improve the plant’s ability to absorb nutrients and water, particularly phosphorus and essential micronutrients. In addition to enhancing nutrient acquisition, AMF contribute to better soil structure by promoting the formation of stable aggregates and increase plant resilience to environmental stresses such as drought and salinity. They also influence root system development and interact with soil microbial communities, thereby supporting overall plant health. The use of AMF as biofertilizers has shown considerable promise in lowering dependence on synthetic fertilizers while maintaining crop yields and improving soil quality. Its an environmenatly free approach to incresase the yield and to protect environmentA deeper understanding of their diversity, ecological roles, and functional mechanisms is essential for advancing sustainable agricultural systems.
