Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi for Sustainable Rice Production

Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) are considered crucial in contemporary agriculture and horticulture due to their role in nutrient, biotic, and abiotic stress management, enhancing plant health and soil fertility. AMF plays a significant role in soil aggregation, which helps in drought management. This book provides comprehensive and up-to-date knowledge on AMF in rice cultivation, aiming for sustainable rice production in different ecologies without harming the environment.

Key Features:

1. Covers all aspects of AMF in rice cultivation, from diversity to applications.
2. Documents AMF diversity based on a metagenomic approach in rice ecosystems.
3. Explains the importance of AMF in soil aggregation, which aids in drought management.
4. Provides new knowledge about AMF for sustainable rice production in different ecologies without environmental damage.
5. Discusses the role of AMF in inducing resistance in rice plants against certain pests.
