How does application of fungus genus-Glomus to agricultural farm increase farm output?

Dear Student, Glomus (fungus) is present in symbiotic relationship with roots of mycorrhiza (plant). In this mutual relationship, Fungus absorbs phosphorus from soil and pass it on to the plant for use while Plant provides nutrition in the form of sugar to plants. As fungus is absorbing Phosphorus, thus, it increases output of the farm. It also helps the plants in growth hormone synthesis and disease resistance. Regards

Dear...
Glomus fungi belong to the genus of fungi which are found in symbiotic relationship with the roots of the seed plants (mycorrhiza). It absorbs phosphorus from the soil and passes it to the plant and in return derives sugars from the plant cell for survival. Thus the application of the fungal, genus. Glomus.s, to the agricultural farm, increase the farm output due to increased phosphorus availability to the crops.
