Mycorrhiza is the mutually beneficial relationship between a plant and a fungus colonizing its roots wherein the plant provides carbohydrates to fungi, in return Mycorrhizal fungal partner imparts several advantages to plants viz., making otherwise unavailable nutrients available to the plant, imparting resistance to diseases. It also has the potential to be used extensively not only for growth and yield but also for disease and insect control along with nutrient cycling, heavy metal assimilation, land reclamation, restoration and so on. The application of mycorrhizal biotechnology has great potential and can play an essential role in the restoration of degraded lands in many surface-mined areas. This chapter is an overview of the prospects, potential and possibilities of Mycorrhiza in agriculture, industry and other environmental applications.
