Mycorrhiza is an organic fertilizer that maintains a connection between fungi and plant roots. In this type of relationship, the fungus becomes dependent on the root of the plants and becomes an important component of soil-life.
The use of mycorrhiza leads to better growth of roots.
Mycorrhiza helps in the availability of phosphorus and other micronutrients from the soil for the plants.
Mycorrhiza increases phosphorus availability from the soil by 60–80%.
Mycorrhiza increases tolerance of the plant to drought by increasing the rate of water absorption by plants. Due to which it helps to keep the plants green.
Hence, it plays an important role in increasing crop yield.
