Role of Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi (AMF) in Enhancing Phosphorus Uptake and Sustainable Crop Production

  • Abstract:
  • Phosphorus (P) is an essential macronutrient, yet its availability in soils is often limited due to fixation in insoluble forms. Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi (AMF) form symbiotic associations with plant roots, extending hyphal networks that mobilize inaccessible phosphorus, enhance nutrient uptake, and improve plant growth. This review synthesizes recent literature (2023–2025) on AMF mechanisms, multi-crop benefits, environmental factors affecting their efficiency, and emerging strategies such as multi-strain inoculants and precision agriculture integration. Data from groundnut, wheat, soybean, and maize demonstrate the crucial role of AMF in sustainable, climate-resilient crop production.
