Abstract
The integration of Rhizobium and arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) as dual inoculants offers a sustainable strategy to improve nutrient uptake, particularly nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P), in leguminous crops. This study investigates the synergistic interactions between Rhizobium and AMF in promoting plant growth, nodulation efficiency, soil fertility, and nutrient uptake. The results indicate that co-inoculation significantly enhances plant biomass, nitrogen fixation, and phosphorus assimilation compared to single inoculation or control. These findings emphasize the potential of microbial consortia as biofertilizers for improving soil health and crop productivity under sustainable agricultural practices.
