The mycorrhizal symbiosis substantially influence plant growth under a variety of stressful conditions and their role in biological control of soil/root - borne pathogens is of immense importance both in the agricultural system as well as in the forestry (Linderman, 1994). 

The mycorrhizal symbiosis involves several mechanisms in control of plant diseases, (i) Creating a mechanical barrier for the pathogen penetration and subsequent spread...

Figure 4.12 Diagram showing the relationship among the abandoned cadaver or excreta, the fungi growing after its decomposition, and the trees hosting the fungi in mycorrhizal symbiosis. This relationship forms part of the habitatcleaning symbiosis (see text). The cadaver here is shown buried, but "buried" or "unburied" does not matter for the establishment of this symbiosis. The possible early phase of this symbiosis is not shown here.
