Abstract

Although AM is known to increase the uptake of phosphorus in plants, they are also beneficial for other minerals. As a result, it's becoming clearer that they promote the uptake of other nutrients. To increase the nutritional value of the food we consume; some cultures can form an AM symbiont. Whether or not some AM fungal isolates can obtain nutrients from their hosts or which nutrients are affected by AM symbiosis is still unknown. Because they enable plants to grow and develop in harsh mineral environments, AMFs are advantageous to plants. They can also increase the amount of soil nutrients due to the AMF ability that plants can use compared to the roots alone. The effects of AMF are examined in this article on increasing/decreasing the uptake of nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium in nutrient cycling, mineral acquisition, uptake of nitrogen, and additional phosphorous to improve crop nutrient quality and increase plant nitrogen uptake by soil communities and mycorrhizal fungi. Our studies show that AM fungal identity can be influenced by many nutrients in addition to phosphorus, but the direction and magnitude of this response are the characteristics of the host plant and soil nutrients. The host plant's characteristics and the soil's nutrient status also have an impact. This review is the first ever record that no such work is still available so far on the role of mycorrhizae in nutrient acquisition under the NPK fertilizers.
