In natural ecosystems, rhizospheric soils are teeming with diverse biological organisms that enhance plant growth, nutrient absorption, stress tolerance and disease prevention. Among these organisms, arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi are particularly significant due to their symbiotic relationships with plants. Their application extends beyond natural ecosystems into agricultural and horticultural practices, where they contribute to improved soil health and plant productivity. This review discusses the benefits of incorporating AM fungi into modern agricultural systems to improve nutrient uptake, soil structure and plant resilience. It emphasizes the need for strategies to restore and maximize AM fungi's efficacy, ensuring sustainability and productivity in agriculture, industry and natural ecosystems.
