Mycorrhizae is a symbiotic mutualistic relationship between special soil fungi and fine plant roots. Interaction of Mycorrhiza with plants, fungi and environment is obligatory and somewhat complex. Mycorrhiza fungi offer substantial benefits to associated plants like increase in mineral nutrient uptake, protection against soil borne pathogens, damage compensation etc (Ranganathswamy et al., 2019). Improvement of plant nutrition, compensation for pathogen damage, and competition for photosynthates or colonization/infection sites have been claimed to play a protective role by mycorrhizae (Aguilar and Barea, 1997). AMF colonization significantly increased shoot weight, root weight, and root surface area by 30%, 35%, and 22%, respectively, compared to the non-AMF treatment. Compared with non-AMF seedlings also mycorrhizal seedlings recorded notably higher root P, Ca, Mg, and Fe concentrations of 75%, 10%, 19%, 18%, respectively as compared to non- AMF seedlings (Lu et al., 2019).Glomus spp. individually or in combination with B. subtilis or T. viride significantly reduced root-rot disease of sesame and significantly increased shoot length, fresh weight of shoot system and number of pods per plant (Ziedan et al., 2011).
