Agricultural innovations in the past decades have addressed mounting challenges of food, feed, and biofuel security. However, overreliance on synthetic fertilizers pesticides agriculture has exacerbated biodiversity loss, environmental degradation, soil health deterioration. Leveraging beneficial microorganisms, particularly arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi, offers an emerging solution to reduce dependence agrochemicals crop production. Understanding mechanisms can help maximize AM fungi’s benefits response abiotic stresses. In this review, we explore main fungi promoting nutrient mobilization uptake, increasing water absorption, stimulating antioxidative enzyme activities, altering morphophysiological structure, performing hormonal crosstalk when plants face stressor. Also, highlight necessity innovating practical ways cope with variations fungal species, diversity host soil, conditions, as well difficulties mass multiplication for commercialization. limitations may biofertilizer potential symbiosis, benefiting production while addressing environment issues.
