We are pleased to invite chapter contributions for our upcoming edited volume, "Sustainable Cultivation: Harnessing Mycorrhiza in Hilly Agriculture". This book aims to explore an in-depth exploration of using mycorrhiza in hilly agriculture to promote sustainable cultivation. It examines the symbiotic relationship between plants and mycorrhizal fungi, focusing on how this partnership can improve soil health, enhance nutrient uptake, and increase crop resilience in challenging terrains. The book covers the ecological role of mycorrhiza, its diversity, and practical applications in hilly regions, emphasizing its potential to address issues like soil erosion, land degradation, and the overuse of synthetic fertilizers. In addition it will discuss on market avenues and the availability of mycorrhizal products for use in agriculture by farmers supporting long-term environmental sustainability and economic viability. With the given content and layout, this book will be a comprehensive compilation of knowledge that provides policymakers, land managers, researchers, soil scientists, and agronomists with a strategy for enhancing agricultural practices in hilly regions through the utilization of mycorrhiza.

We are delighted to officially announce the collaboration between Manaseer Natural Solutions and Syngenta Seeds LSV. Veronique Le Roux Christoph Deraeve As part of this partnership, a remarkable field day was organized at the Agricultural Research Station of the University of Jordan in the Jordan Valley to launch three high-sugar corn varieties, for which we have obtained exclusive agency rights, in addition to a variety of peas. This partnership reflects our commitment to providing the best agricultural solutions to support farmers and enhance productivity. We extend our gratitude to the Faculty of Agriculture at the University of Jordan for granting us the opportunity to host this field day to officially announce the partnership and cultivate these varieties at their station.
