Description
Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) form beneficial symbioses with the roots of many plants. This association allows them to maintain themselves and grow well under relatively harsh conditions (Sieverding, 1986). They also improve the ability of plants to withstand or have enhanced water acquisition capability. AMF symbioses assist to extend crop and forage plants into arid and semi arid zones. In this research effects of AMF symbiosis were studied on drought tolerance and forage production of lucerne (Medicago sativa).
