Among soil microorganisms, arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi and Rhizobium spp. can promote plant growth and control plant fungal diseases. However these microorganisms are not yet used in commercial biocontrol products. Integration of Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi with Rhizobium sp. thus appears to be a promising approach for sustainable agriculture especially in legume crops where the net influence of this combination is supposed to be very high compare to other types of crop families. Arbuscular Mycorrhizal fungi and root-nodule bacterium Rhizobium are two root symbionts. Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi increases soil nutrients and water absorption, while root-nodule bacteria fix atmospheric nitrogen and produce antibiotics and phytoalexins. These microbes modify the quality and abundance of rhizosphere microflora and alter overall microbial activity of the rhizosphere. They induce changes in the host root exudation pattern. A procedure for successful development of these microorganisms is required by selection and screening of efficient isolates. Knowledge of culture systems that are adapted to their establishment and multiplication is needed. Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi provide specific niches for bacteria. Arbuscular mycorrhizal bacteria improve nutrient acquisition in plants and subsequently, growth of the particular crops is advantaged indeed. Arbuscular mycorrhizal bacteria may contribute to ability of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi to inhibit pathogens acquire mineral nutrients and modify plant root growth. Combined use of these microorganisms is more beneficial than their use alone. Together, they Influence plant root morphology changes and chemical properties of Rhizospheric soils of high plants with the significant extent. These symbionts also interact with other beneficial microorganisms synergistically and can be exploited for sustainable agriculture. The sound influence of these symbionts on root morphology and growth of the whole crop as well as on soil properties interested many researchers in agriculture domain.

From research we came to know that maximum amount of water is getting loss in agricultural field, water withdrawal rate in 2050 is 50 % in developing countries like India. To solve the problem of water scarcity, we need proper water management and water efficient irrigation system.Clay pipe irrigation system is the one of the most water efficient, eco-friendly and cheapest method. In this system we use clay pipes which are buried into the sub surface of the soil and by the capillary action water sweeps out from the unglazed wall of the clay pipes due to which soil get moisturize. By this method only optimum amount of water is provided to the crops.As in this system there is no water logging on the soil surface, hence we can also solve the weed management issue and proper salt distribution in the soil. This method is so easy to manage as no high-tech work is required and it is eco-friendly also because no toxic and residual waste is used in this system. Initial cost for this system is 40,000 rupee per acre (aprox) and it is multi seasonal (this system can be use for more than 10 seasons). This is suitable for those regions where the rainfall is less than 500 mm per year. Clay pipes will have proper composition of clay and ash so that it has proper water permeability and maintained porosity. All the fibrous root crops like fibrous root vegetables can be practice by this method and they will give good yield and quality. Water saving rate from this method is 50-70% in vegetable crops. It is more viable in intensive agriculture.
