**5. Conclusion**

Based on previous studies, we could conclude that AMF, PBS, and RP consortium could synergistically act to more effectively increase the plant uptake of P, improving the growth of different plant more than when each was solely applied as soil amendment. These in turn boost yield and generate income of poor Sahelian subsistent farmers. In order to avoid a future food-related crisis, phosphorus scarcity needs to be recognized and addressed in contemporary discussions on global environmental change and food security. This review has shown that phosphate rocks and phosphate-solubilizing microbes have great potential as biofertilizers, improving soil

inorganic phosphate levels and increasing its bioavailability for plant use. This will no doubt promote sustainable agriculture, improve the fertility of the soil, and hence increase crop productivity.
