摘要：Soil microorganisms are known to regulate mycorrhizal formation and function conversely. Mycorrhiza affects the establishment of rhizosphere population. Some interaction between mycorrhizae and soil microorganisms involve nutrient recycling. Hence, they have an impact on plant and nutrient (Kapoor and Mukerji 1998). The symbiotic relation between arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi and the host plants has been studied traditionally in terms of benefits to the individual plant and fungi (Smith and Smith 1996, Lakshman 1999). AM fungal association can affect the host plants in terms of stomata movement to increase chlorophyll content and the rate of transpiration and photosynthesis (Panwar 1991, Bheemareddy and Lakshman 2011). Mycorrhizal colonization is of particular value to legumes because it can increase the phosphorus uptake: nodulation and symbiotic nitrogen fixation by rhizobial require adequate supply of phosphorus, and restricted root system leads to poor competition for soil phosphorus (Carling et al. 1978, Bagyaraj 2006, Lakshman 2009).
