Summary

Sustainable agriculture is imperative for meeting global food demands while safeguarding the environment and natural resources. One promising strategy involves leveraging beneficial microorganisms such as Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi (AMF) and plant-associated bacteria to enhance agricultural sustainability. This manuscript delves into the synergistic potential of AMF-bacteria-plant interactions in sustainable agriculture. AMF form mutualistic associations with plant roots, facilitating nutrient uptake, especially phosphorus and micronutrients. Concurrently, plant-associated bacteria promote plant growth, stress resilience, and disease tolerance. Their combined effects are believed to surpass individual impacts. The review provides a thorough examination of recent research on these synergi
