“…A similar response is observed when mycorrhizal plants and non-mycorrhizal plants were treated with phosphate @50 Kg P 2 O 5 . However, the response was not significant enough when the application of phosphate @100 Kg P 2 O 5 [44]. This result signifies that mycorrhiza exhibits a beneficial response to soil with low P and increasing the concentration of P 2 O 5 in the soil does not show a significant response.…”

“…This result signifies that mycorrhiza exhibits a beneficial response to soil with low P and increasing the concentration of P 2 O 5 in the soil does not show a significant response. A study conducted by Ortas et al [44] presented the response of cucumber against a different strain of mycorrhiza including with indigenous were tested. This experiment was conducted for three years, and the indigenous mycorrhiza has equal effect as other types tested in the years 2001 and 2002.…”

“…Indigenous mycorrhizae, G. caledonium, G. etinicatium has a similar response and significantly different from other strain of mychorrhizae. So, host specificity of mycorrhiza is very important to explore [44]. A symbiotic association is formed between the roots of the majority of plants and mycorrhiza [45].…”

An application of mycorrhiza has a role in achieving the goal of food security. The establishment of the mycorrhiza in soil and their pre-adaptation steps affect food for the growing billions. Nowadays, the use of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) in the agricultural field as biofertilizer is on the rise. Zinc (Zn) is one of the important elements for crop growth and development and possesses negative interaction with excess applied phosphorous (P). An estimation of 50% of the world's cereal growing soils is considered to be low in plant-available Zn. More than 33% of the world population is affected by Zn deficiency. The two different pathways for the uptake of P and Zn from the soil are mycorrhizal pathway uptake (MPU) and direct pathway uptake (DPU). The contribution of Zn by MPU and DPU varied in small quantities (i.e., in μg). In this regard, 24% of the Zn has transferred through the MPU pathway. This type of result has important implications in plants grown with low Zn concentration and high phosphorous application. Under high soil Zn concentration, there is little influence of MPU over DPU. MPU is active when soil Zn supply is low. An important repercussion for crop growing in Zn deficient soil. The relative contribution by the MPU was reduced in huge amounts while the activity of DPU increased with increasing soil Zn supply. Furthermore, a comparative study between mycorrhizal and non-mycorrhizal plants cannot tell us about the activity and interplay between MPU and DPU. An independent study is required to draw valid conclusions. Therefore, it can be concluded that the interplay between DPU and MPU of Zn and P is highly complex and due attention has to be paid for future research. Furthermore, the balanced use of MPU for the soil Zn and P is highly recommended.

“…AMF inoculation directly or indirectly affects the composition and content of root exudates, the soil microbes population and the growth and development of plants. As stated by Ortas et al (2017), mycorrhizal application has been introduced into vegetables (e.g., onion, pepper, tomato, cucumber, and eggplant) and fruit trees (citrus, apple, grapevine and plum). Large-scale production of mycorrhizal fungi and their coating on seeds can provide a convenient approach to apply mycorrhiza into fields.…”

Replant disease refers to the result of monoculture-continuous repetitive planting of congeneric crops or coordinal crops in the same soil for many years. Such disease is recognized as one of the main limiting factors affecting plant growth and production of horticultural plants in many countries. As a result, replant disease in horticultural plants has become a world problem in agriculture and also a bottleneck restricting the sustainable development of agriculture. In general, replant disease results in unfavorable growth of horticultural plants, which is due to allelopathy, autotoxicity, and the imbalance of both soil physical-biochemical traits and soil microflora. An environmentally friendly contribution to this could be bio-controlled by beneficial microorganisms. Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi, one of soil-inhabiting fungi, can form a symbiotic association in roots to mitigate the negative effects of replant disease in many horticultural plants. Moreover, arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi do not produce any environmental pollution in soils and are a potential biological control. The soil fungi could regulate better morphological, physiological and molecular levels in plants to respond to the disease. This review mainly outlined the current knowledge in mycorrhizal mitigation of replant disease in horticultural plants, which appears to be a promising strategy to improve growth of horticultural plants in replant soils.
