mykorrhizasopp
Mykorrhizasopp, also known as the mycorrhizal fungus, refers to a group of fungi that form symbiotic associations with plant roots. These fungi extend the root system, increasing water and nutrient uptake, particularly phosphorus and nitrogen, while receiving carbohydrates from the host plant. The relationship is mutualistic, benefiting both organisms and contributing significantly to soil health and ecosystem productivity.
The term "mykorrhiza" combines the Greek words for "fungus" (myko) and "root" (rhiza). Mykorrhizasopp typically colonizes
In agricultural science, mykorrhizasopp is valued for its potential to reduce fertilizer requirements and improve crop
