Slide Content

Welcome to our presentation on the
benefits of Arbuscular Mycorrhizal
Fungi (AMF) for plant growth and
sustainable agriculture.
Learn how these beneficial fungi
form symbiotic relationships with
plants, enhancing nutrient uptake,
soil health, and overall plant vigor.

AMF are a type of
mycorrhizal fungi that
form symbiotic
relationships with the
roots of most
terrestrial plants.
They belong to the phylum
Glomeromycota and are
characterized by the formation
of arbuscules, structures inside
plant root cells that facilitate
nutrient exchange.

They extend hyphae into the soil, effectively
increasing the root's absorption area.
This network of hyphae helps in the uptake
of water, phosphorus, and other essential
nutrients.
AMF penetrate plant root cells,
forming arbuscules that increase the
surface area for nutrient exchange.

Enhanced Nutrient Uptake: AMF improve the
absorption of phosphorus, nitrogen, and
micronutrients.
Increased Drought Resistance: AMF help plants
access water more efficiently, improving drought
tolerance.
Disease Resistance: AMF can enhance plant
resistance to soil-borne pathogens.
Improved Soil Structure: AMF contribute to soil
aggregation, improving soil aeration and water
retention.

AMF reduce the need for chemical fertilizers,
promoting more sustainable farming practices.
AMF AND
SUSTAINABLE
AGRICULTURE
They help maintain soil health and fertility,
crucial for long-term agricultural productivity.
By enhancing plant health and yield, AMF
contribute to food security and environmental
sustainability.

Crop Production: AMF are used to improve
yields in crops such as wheat, maize, and
soybeans.
Horticulture: AMF enhance growth in
ornamental plants, vegetables, and fruits.
Reforestation: AMF are employed in
reforestation projects to promote the
establishment of young trees.
APPLICATIONS
OF AMF IN
AGRICULTURE

HOW TO USE AMF?
Inoculation: AMF inoculants can be applied to seeds,
seedlings, or soil.
Compatibility: Ensure the chosen AMF species is compatible
with your crops.
Soil Health: Maintain healthy soil conditions to support AMF
activity.

Soil Conditions: AMF efficacy can be
influenced by soil pH, temperature, and
organic matter content.
Crop Specificity: Not all crops benefit
equally from AMF, so it's important to
choose the right species.
Cost and Availability: Consider the cost
and availability of AMF inoculants for
large-scale use.
