The importance of mycorrhiza for the improvement of plant growth is
increasingly being realised in Agriculture and Forestry and several
mycorrhizal fungi have been commercially recognised for the
purpose. The aim of this book is to describe the various techniques
used to study the mycorrhizal biology. Problems with preparing such
a book are many. Mainly mailing of manuscripts to and from authors
resulted in irregular and final editing. Every effort was made not
to change the peer review original manuscript to ensure accuracy.
Our sole aims is to communicate to the greatest extent possible a
current world need in mycorrhizal research. Plant productivity is
regulated by microbial associations established in the plant root
systems. The interactions of microorganisms and plant roots are
especially important in providing nutritional requirements of the
plant and the associated microorganisms. Plant growth and
development are controlled largely by the soil environment in the
root region -rhizosphere. This is a very complex environment in
which the effects of the plant on soil microorganisms and the
effects of microorganisms on the plant are interacting,
interdependent and highly complex. Plant root exudates and
breakdown products feed the microbes and the microbe in tum often
benefit the plant. Mycorrhizal fungi are important tools for
increasing growth, development and yield of economically important
plants, they play important role of biofertilizer which can help
establish plants in nutrient deficient soils, particularly
phosphorus deficient soils, arid, semi-arid and waste lands.
