“…Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) are obligate biotrophs, which can form mutualistic symbiosis with the roots of around 80% of plant species [8]. They represent 10% or more of the soil microbial biomass and establish a mutual symbiosis with the majority, approximately 80%, of land plant species and agricultural crops [9].…”

Biofertilization of crops with plant growth promoting microorganisms is currently considered as a healthy alternative to chemical fertilization. Biofertilizers are microbial preparations containing living cells of different microorganisms which have the ability to mobilize plant nutrients in soil from unusable to usable form. They are environmentally friendly, play a significant role in the crop production, help to build up the lost microflora and improve the soil health. Also, they increase crop yield by 20% -30%, stimulate plant growth, are cost effective and provide optimal conditions for soil biological activity. They suppress pathogenic soil organisms, restore natural soil fertility and provide protection against drought and some soil borne diseases. Moreover, they degrade toxic organic chemicals, improve seed germination and aid in balancing soil pH in reducing soil erosion.

“…The significantly minimum Iron content in leaf with (113.00 ppm) was obtained in case of T0 control. The previous studies observed that mycorrhizal hyphae could take part in Cu and Mn uptake [8,9]. These data indicated that the Fe increment due to bioinoculants is dependent of both fungal and plant species, and might to be result of both the external hyphae and the increase of root Fe (III) chelate reductase activities [10,11].…”

“…The data pertaining to the AM fungi and phosphorus on the Zinc and Manganese content in the leaves of litchi layers depicted in (Table 2) show that the gradual increment and varies with lapse of time interval under the different treatments. After 120 DAI higher value for the Zinc was recorded in case T5 (33.17 ppm) which was at par with T6 (31.33ppm), T7 (32.00 ppm), [8,9]. It has also been proven that mycorrhizal symbiosis can improve Zn nutrition as a secondary consequence of P nutrition [14].…”

Litchi (Litchi chinensis Sonn.) originated from South China, it is sub-tropical evergreen fruit crops, especially grown on the marginal climate of tropics and subtropics. It is delicious juicy fruit of India having excellent nutritional quality, pleasant flavoured, good amount of antioxidant and vitamins C, vitamin B-complex and phytonutrients flavonoids. It has a great potential to earn foreign exchange in the national and international market through export. Arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) infection is a common association between plant roots and microorganisms. It is responsible for increasing plant nutrient uptake and also increases in macro and micronutrients in leaf. Therefore, the present work has been analyzed macro and micro nutrients from soil and leaf, after 60, 90 and 120 days after inoculation of two bio-inoculants with phosphorus (SSP) including nine treatments with three replications. After 120 days of inoculation both the species of mycorrhizal combination with phosphorus application were very effective. Highest Copper content is (10.99 ppm), Zinc (33.17 ppm), Iron (121.47 ppm) and Manganese (15.33 ppm) was recorded in case T5 (G. mosseae 10 g + Phosphorus 50 mg kg-1 of soil) which is gradually increases. The soil nutrient content gradually decreased with time duration but no- significant difference was found among treatments after 120 days inoculation. After 120 days potting result was found that the Copper content is (1.70 ppm), Zinc (3.07 ppm), Iron (7.80 ppm) and Manganese (4.00 ppm) was recorded in case T5 (G. mosseae 10 g + Phosphorus 50 mg kg-1 of soil).this research was undertaken to find out whether Arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) infection and phosphorus affect the micro-nutrient status of soil and leaves in nursery stage.

“…These partnerships are easy to locate in distinct places, from aquatic to desert habitats, occurring at different longitudes and latitudes [17]. Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) are obligate biotrophs, which can form mutualistic symbiosis with the roots of around 80% of plant species [18]. These mycorrhizal symbionts occur in almost all fruit tree species grown in the nursery or open field [19].…”

Biofertilizers consist mainly of beneficial microorganisms that can release nutrients from raw materials and plant residues in the soil and make them available commercially where specific strains are used as biological fertilizers. They become recently, positive alternatives to chemical fertilizers because they help bring down the costs of chemical fertilizers especially N and P and improve soil fertility by maintaining the physical properties of the soil. They may help in improving crop productivity and quality by increasing the biological N fixation, the availability and uptake of nutrients and stimulating the natural hormones. They are safe for humans, animals and environment and using them is accompanied with reducing the pollution occurring in our environment.
