beneficial-fungi
Beneficial fungi are microorganisms that form symbiotic relationships with plant roots, most notably mycorrhizal fungi, which extend the root system's reach into surrounding soil. These partnerships enhance the uptake of water and essential nutrients like phosphorus and nitrogen, while also boosting plant resilience against drought, pathogens, and other environmental stresses. Understanding these interactions is central to developing more sustainable agricultural practices that reduce reliance on chemical fertilizers.
