The enigmatic role of soil microbes is gradually being de-codified towards better understanding of soil fertility transformations. We frequently talk of N-fixation , phosphate solubilisation , potassium solubilisation ..... but hardly debate about potential role of microbes including the AMF in improving the available indices of micronutrients in soil with respect to micronutrients like Fe, Mn , Zn , Cu , Mo, B etc .The widespread deficiency of these micronutrients is so ominous and of so far reaching consequences on both soil as well as plant health , in addition to quality of edible parts . I invite the comments of our friends on the role microbes including the AMF in transformation and availability of micronutrients across crops and soils.
