mass production of vesicular and arbuscular mycorrhiza
Mycorrhiza form a relationship between fungi and the roots of vascular plants. This symbiotic relationship helps plants absorb nutrients from the soil and provides the fungi with carbohydrates produced by the plant through photosynthesis.
Endotrophic mycorrhiza is a type of plant-fungus relationship where the fungal partner lives inside the plant roots, forming structures called arbuscules or vesicles. The fungus helps the plant by increasing nutrient uptake, particularly phosphorus, in exchange for receiving sugars from the plant.
