  abstract = {{I}t is well known that the over exploitation of soil resources decreases the density and diversity of arbuscular mycorrhizal ({AM}) fungal propagules. {I}t has been postulated that agricultural practices could promote the occurrence and functioning of remaining and resilient {AM} fungal ecotypes in order to benefit from {AM} associations. {U}sing {C}. ochroleuca, a highly mycotrophic plant species, the aims of this study were to determine in controlled conditions, the impact of this legume species on: (i) the mycorrhizal soil infectivity ({MSI}), (ii) the {R}ock {P}hosphate ({RP}) solubilising activity and (iii) the soil microbial functions. {T}he expected benefits of {C}. ochroleuca cultivation have been evaluated by comparing its biological influences with those recorded with a non-mycorrhizal plant species, {B}rassica oleracea in order to attest of the importance of the {AM} potential in {RP} weathering and soil functioning. {T}he results show that: {C}. ochroleuca was effective in improving the mycorrhizal soil potential, (ii) functional abilities of soil microflora were influenced by the cultured plant species and the mycorrhizal soil potential and (iii) the efficiency of rock phosphate amendment on plant growth depended on the level of mycorrhizal soil potential and was linkedto the extent of the mycorrhizal network.{T}he {C}. ochroleuca impact was significantly reinforced with {KRP} amendment (i.e. +29.3% for the {C}atabolic {E}veness, +45.7% for the hyphal length). {A}ccording to these results, it could be concluded that agricultural strategies based on the management of local biodiversity (i.e. the use of native legume species) could be considered as a sustainable practice to optimally manage {AM} fungi and to ensure their functionalities in order to maintain a sustainable production of food crops in the tropics.},
