Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) substantially enhance soil fertility and are widely recognized as one of the most extensively researched biological inoculants. However, the effects of AMF on soil nutrient availability in mango orchards, along with the physiological processes regulating this availability under varying soil fertility conditions, remain poorly understood. To address this research gap, experiments were conducted with two soil types (soil from mango orchards co-cultivated with butterfly pea plants for five years and a control (no butterfly pea plants) and two mycorrhizal inoculations (+AMF and -AMF). Rhizophagus irregularis was used as the * Corresponding authors.
