In an agricultural field, there is a prevalence of the following organisms and crop diseases which are affecting the crop yield badly:
(a) White rust (b) Leaf and stripe rust
(c) Black rot (d) Jussids
Recommend the varieties of crops the farmers should grow to get rid of the existing problem and thus, improve the crop yield.
How does the application of the fungal genus, Glomus, to the agricultural farm increase the farm output?
The application of Glomus to agricultural field increases the farm output by increasing the nutrient availability to the crops. Glomus develops symbiotic association with the roots of plants, called mycorrhiza. It absorbs phosphorus from the soil and passes it to the plants it associates with. In return, it derives sugars from the host plant cells for its survival.
Thus, it acts as a biofertiliser. This association has other advantages also, like
(i) Resistance to root borne pathogens
(ii) Tolerance to salinity and drought
(iii) Increase in plant growth and development
