Question

discuss the role of fungi as biofertilizer​

Answer 1

The fungi help in absorption of the salts of phosphorus from the soil which is then used by plants as nutrients. Also, these fungal filaments increase the surface area for absorption of other mineral nutrients. Hence, mycorrhiza can be used as biofertilizers

Fungal biofertilizers include plant growth stimulating fungi e.g. Trichoderma, mycorrhizal fungi (ectomycorrhiza e.g. Pisolithus tinctonus and arbuscular mycorrhizae e.g. Glomus intraradices which form mutualistic associations with plants), enzymatic producing fungi for compost production and P-solubilizing fungi

Agricultural application of fungi. Soil is a primary source of fungal growth, and is associated with the roots of all plant species. ... In addition, fungi supply inorganic nutrients to plants, such as ammonium, nitrate, and phosphate and they are used as biofertilizers.
