Endophytic microorganisms such as arbuscular mycorrhiza fungi (AMF) are among the many effective microorganisms (EM) present in the host of system of various plants; ofthen without ill effects on the plants (Holderness et al.,2000;Sieber,2002). A majority of land plants from symbiotic association with the fungi. Mycorrhizae play a key role for soil microorganisms in the soil-plant system that are fundamental for soil fertility and plant nutrition (Smith and Read, 2008). The use of mycorrhiza is widespread in a agriculture due to their benefits on the plant system. It is a symbiotic association where it influences the plant’s growth, water and nutrient absorption, and protection from root disease.
