Sustainable agriculture performs a significant part in agroecosystems and decline destructive consequences at the environment through making use of multiple natural processes. Optimum soil fertility is a crucial purpose to be executed in sustainable agriculture system. Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) execute an environmental-friendly way to accomplish the previous objectives. Most of the terrestrial plant species are associated with the AMF and they have a necessary mutualistic link with plants. AMF symbiosis plays a crucial component in the growth and development of plant by increasing the efficiency of root system, root hydraulic conductivity, rate of photosynthesis, improve stomatal conductance, better nutrition absorption (macronutrients and micronutrients) and increased tolerance against various biotic and abiotic stresses and also help in modifying the structure of soil, aggregating soil particle, preventing soil erosion and bioremediation of degraded land.These symbionts also help in increasing the plant yields and productivity and reduce the chemical fertilizer usage and pesticides while maintaining the quality and quantity of plant and thereby promoting the sustainable agriculture. Present review article highlights the various role played by AMFin environmentally friendly agriculture by stimulating plant growth, development, productivity and served for 3E’s i.e., eco-friendly, economic and increased yield.
