Beneficial Role of Rhizosphere Mycoflora in the Field of Agriculture: An Overview

Plant rhizosphere soil microorganisms are immersed in a framework of interactions known to affect plant fitness and soil quality. They are involved in fundamental activities that ensure the stability and productivity of both agricultural systems and natural ecosystems. Strategic and applied research has demonstrated that certain co-operative microbial activities can be exploited, as a low-input biotechnology, to help sustainable, environmentally-friendly, agro-technological practices. Much research is addressed at improving understanding of the diversity, dynamics, and significance of rhizosphere microbial populations and their cooperative activities. This paper deals on an analysis of the co-operative microbial activities known to affect plant development is the general aim of this review.
