This collection features four peer-reviewed literature reviews on
arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi in agriculture. The first chapter
reviews the use of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) as
biostimulants for sustainable crop production and explores the
benefits of its use, such as bidirectional nutrient exchange and
soil quality. The chapter discusses the requirements needed for
successful implementation of AMF in sustainable crop production,
and also maps the current market for mycorrhizal products. The
second chapter explores our understanding of how AMF can modify
nutrient availability in soil, specifically concerning the roles
that fungal ecology and physiology may play during the processes of
nutrient acquisition and transformation. The chapter also refers to
future opportunities in research to exploit AMF to improve
nutrient-use efficiency. The third chapter highlights further
advances in our understanding of how AMF can improve root function
in agricultural systems. The chapter also discusses the functional
diversity apparent in plant responses to AMF colonisation. The
final chapter reviews the use of AMF-based bio-inoculants in tea
cultivation. The chapter also discusses the range of AMF associated
with tea and their effects on the tea rhizosphere, plant growth and
quality.
