Interaction of Azospirillum and Mycorrhiza

The AM fungi interact with Azospirillum directly by providing niche and/or habitat or indirectly by modifying host plant morphophysiology. This communication in soil can be beneficial for both the microorganisms and the host plant. The Azospirillum inoculation is more successful and more profitable when other microorganisms are co-inoculated with Azospirillum. The inoculation consortia apparently work better when VAM fungi are incorporated. So far, observational techniques and morphophysiological analysis techniques have been developed but nonspecifically for this microbial interaction. New co-inoculation methods and polymicrobial formulations with stable, effective, multifunctional, and eco-friendly characteristics are technically demanding.
