“…Several benefits of AMF have been reported including improved plant survival and acclimatization, increased growth and nutrient uptake (especially P, Zn, Mn, Mg, Cu, K, and N), increased crop yields (Estaun et al, 2002; Wang et al, 2008; Kapulnik et al, 2010; Ortas, 2010; Kavoo-Mwangi et al, 2013) and improved water use efficiency (WUE; Auge, 2001). These have been reported for plants and crops like olive (Porras-Soriano et al, 2010), banana (Kavoo-Mwangi et al, 2013, 2014), turmeric (Radhika and Rodrigues, 2010) and cassava (Ceballos et al, 2013), and sweet potato (Abdel-Razzak et al, 2013). …”
