Mycology in Crop Health
Mycology in Crop Health
Mycology explores the role of fungi in maintaining crop health and productivity. Beneficial fungi, such as mycorrhizae, improve nutrient absorption and soil structure, fostering plant growth. Meanwhile, harmful fungi like rusts and molds threaten yields, making early detection and management essential. Techniques like biocontrol using antagonistic fungi have revolutionized pest management, reducing chemical dependence. Additionally, fungal biofertilizers contribute to sustainable farming by enriching the soil naturally. Understanding fungi’s dual role—both as allies and adversaries—empowers farmers to implement integrated approaches that protect crops and enhance long-term agricultural sustainability.
