Abstract
Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) represent an important group of root symbionts, given they serve a critical role in improving plant nutrition, growth, and product quality Large and diverse beneficial bacterial communities, closely associated with spores, sporocarps, and extraradical mycelium, often facilitate AMF's services, which include N2 fixation, nutrient mobilization, plant hormone, antibiotic, and siderophore production, as well as mycorrhizal establishment promotion, all of which contribute to improved host plant performance. The combined inoculation of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (G. fasiculatum) and phosphate solubilizing bacteria (B. megaterium) and Azospirillum had significantly increase the plant growth and yield of Aloe vera. To obtain the maximum benefit for plant growth, it is needed to select the right combination of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi species and phosphorous-solubilizing nitrogen fixing microorganisms to be inoculated in filed condition. The future concerns about phosphorous depletion, cost of fertilizers, environment protection and thus sustainable agricultural practices will assure the development of eco-friendly technologies, including biotechnologies, which use diverse living organisms in humans benefit. While the arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi and phosphate solubilizing bacteria and Azospirillum have great potential to become one of the tools of organic agriculture.
