The paper highlights the important role vesicular-arbuscular (VA) mycorrhiza can play in the improvement of tropical agriculture. The biology of mycorrhiza and the effect of the fungus on plant growth and P uptake have been briefly reviewed. The effect of VA mycorrhiza in improving the efficiency of commercial phosphorus fertilizers has also been emphasized and suggestions for possible use of the fungi to aid the production of field crops in tropical agriculture have been made.
