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
