Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi(AMF)exist in almost all kinds of soils and form symbiosis with nearly all families of the angiosperms.Most of the crops,fruit trees,vegetables and ornamental plants can form arbuscular mycorrhizae.AMF can enhance plant growth by increasing uptake of nutrients and water,increase plant resistance to several soil-borne root pathogens and tolerance to adverse circumstances.AMF also play an important role in conservation of soil and are thus regarded as a 'biological fertilizers'. Inoculation with AMF improves the growth and primary establishment of seedlings.For the improvement of degraded ecosystem and sustainable utilization of forest and agricultural resources,AMF could be used as a biofertilizers in the future.
