Fungal networks of mycelia and mycorrhizae extend the reach of roots to access nutrients and water. Beneficial fungi also help suppress disease and mitigate abiotic stresses like drought, salinity and heat. Biological fertility programs renew the soil with diverse fungi, which increases humus and water-holding capacity.
