The compendium is a compilation of research papers, covering various aspects of mycorrhiza, presented at the National Conference on Mycorrhiza held at Barkatullah University, Bhopal. There, the contributors come from different field of research have discussed - in recent future it will be possible the application of mycorrhizal inoculum in large-scale by developing cost-effective technology. Also demonstrations of the use of mycorrhizal-technology have to be carried out in farmer's field and forest nurseries to show the benefits of mycorrhiza in enhancing plant growth and reducing chemical fertilizer use in cultivation practices.
The departments, companies and NGOs involved in afforestation and agricultural activities are advised to include eco-friendly mycorrhizal-technology in their programmes, thus, helping in reducing the use of chemicals.
The book will serve as a useful guide for conducting further research studies on the interactions between plant and mycorrhiza.
