dc.description.abstract	Mycorrhizae are symbiotic associations, formed between plants and soil fungi that play an essential role in sustainable crop production and soil fertility. Interest in Vesicular Arbuscular Mycorrhiza (VAM) fungi inocula propagation for agriculture is increasing due to their role in promotion of plant health, soil fertility, and soil aggregates stability in the developing economies. This review discusses the impact of VAM to plant growth, factors contributing to VAM utilization and associations to plant growth. The management and strategic applications of VAM to enhance growth of food crops most especially in Africa with an understanding of exploiting VAM benefits towards sustainable agricultural development is very important.	en_US
