Seedlings that are inoculated with mycorrhizal fungi, called AMF (arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi) survive better after transplanting (often mortality may be reduced to zero or near zero) and grow faster. AMF are being exploited gainfully in India for establishing trees and other plants on lands that are deficient in nutrients, e.g., wastelands or degraded lands, and on flyash overburdened sites.
Even in case of crops like vegetables and flowers, use of AMF can increase yields by about 30-50%. AMF are mass-produced in association with roots of potted plants, roots of plants grown in aquaculture (soil less culture), and roots cultured in vito.
