“…This is not surprising as many results from greenhouse and field trials have also proven the positive effects of AMF inoculation. AMF inoculation primarily boost nutrient mobilization and uptake [ 26 , 53 , 54 , 55 , 56 , 57 ]. AMF inoculation enhances uptake and transportation of nutrients such as P, N, Mg, K, Fe, Cu, Zn and Mo.…”

Growing evidence showed that efficient acquisition and use of nutrients by crops is controlled by root-associated microbiomes. Efficient management of this system is essential to improving crop yield, while reducing the environmental footprint of crop production. Both endophytic and rhizospheric microorganisms can directly promote crop growth, increasing crop yield per unit of soil nutrients. A variety of plant symbionts, most notably the arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF), nitrogen-fixing bacteria, and phosphate-potassium-solubilizing microorganisms entered the era of large-scale applications in agriculture, horticulture, and forestry. The purpose of this study is to compile data to give a complete and comprehensive assessment and an update of mycorrhizal-based inoculant uses in agriculture in the past, present, and future. Based on available data, 68 mycorrhizal products from 28 manufacturers across Europe, America, and Asia were examined on varying properties such as physical forms, arbuscular mycorrhizal fungal composition, number of active ingredients, claims of purpose served, mode of application, and recommendation. Results show that 90% of the products studied are in solid formula—powder (65%) and granular (25%), while only 10% occur in liquid formula. We found that 100% of the products are based on the Glomeraceae of which three species dominate among all the products in the order of Rhizophagus irregularis (39%), Funneliformis mosseae (21%), Claroideoglomus etunicatum (16%). Rhizophagus clarus is the least common among all the benchmark products. One third of the products is single species AMF and only 19% include other beneficial microbes. Of the sampled products, 44% contain AMF only while the rest are combined with varying active ingredients. Most of the products (84%) claimed to provide plant nutrient benefits. Soil application dominates agricultural practices of the products and represents 47%. A substantial amount of the inoculants were applied in cereal production. Recommended application doses varied extensively per plant, seed and hectare. AMF inoculant seed coating accounted for 26% of the products’ application and has great potential for increased inoculation efficiency over large-scale production due to minimum inoculum use. More applied research should also be conducted on the possible combination of AMF with other beneficial microbes.

“…A direct relationship has been highlighted between the biomass of AMF-colonized plants and the concentration of secondary metabolites for several medicinal plants, such as Chlorophytum borivilianum, Dioscorea spp., Gymnema sylvestre, Glycyrrhiza uralensis, Libidibia ferrea, Ocimum basilicum, Satureja macrostema, and Salvia miltiorrhiza (Dave et al 2011;Lu et al 2015;Zimare et al 2013;Chen et al 2017;Silvia et al 2014;Zolfaghari et al 2013;Carreón-Abud et al 2015;Yang et al 2017). Conversely, in Cynara cardunculus colonized by R. intraradices and F. mosseae, a significant increase in yield was noticed, but the concentrations of phenolics decreased (Colonna et al 2016). Other studies conducted with Hypericum perforatum inoculated with R. intraradices or a mixture of Funneliformis constrictum, Funneliformis geosporum, F. mosseae, and R. intraradices reported no increase in shoot biomass, while in Valeriana officinalis inoculated with R. intraradices or a mixture of six AMF species (F. mosseae, R. intraradices, Glomus cladoideum, Rhizoglomus microaggregatum, Funneliformis caledonium, and C. etunicatum) a negative effect on rhizome and root biomass was noticed (Zubek et al 2012;Nell et al 2010).…”

Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi and production of secondary metabolites in medicinal plants

Medicinal plants are an important source of therapeutic compounds used in the treatment of many diseases since ancient times. Interestingly, they form associations with numerous microorganisms developing as endophytes or symbionts in different parts of the plants. Within the soil, arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) are the most prevalent symbiotic microorganisms forming associations with more than 70% of vascular plants. In the last decade, a number of studies have reported the positive effects of AMF on improving the production and accumulation of important active compounds in medicinal plants.In this work, we reviewed the literature on the effects of AMF on the production of secondary metabolites in medicinal plants. The major findings are as follows: AMF impact the production of secondary metabolites either directly by increasing plant biomass or indirectly by stimulating secondary metabolite biosynthetic pathways. The magnitude of the impact differs depending on the plant genotype, the AMF strain, and the environmental context (e.g., light, time of harvesting). Different methods of cultivation are used for the production of secondary metabolites by medicinal plants (e.g., greenhouse, aeroponics, hydroponics, in vitro and hairy root cultures) which also are compatible with AMF. In conclusion, the inoculation of medicinal plants with AMF is a real avenue for increasing the quantity and quality of secondary metabolites of pharmacological, medical, and cosmetic interest.

“…These formulations of the fungal spores ultimately depend upon the carrier material. De3pending upon the type of the carrier material used, these can be divided into liquid and solid formulations [73]. Transport and storage is easy Other microbes may be involved and not easily available with pure amf inoculum Different forms of fungal inoculations are available based on the carrier material used.…”

AMF (Arbuscular Mychorhizal Fungi) are very well known due to their importance in promoting growth and developments of plants especially vegetables. These fungi can be grown easily, stored and multiplied with simple means, also the application of these fungi is generally on the layer of the soil or near the roots in the inner layers of the soils. The growth of the amf fungi is very easy and they are highly adjustable to any soil and environmental conditions. In this review our main focus is on the use of amf for production of vegetables and also the effect of amf against insects and pests. The amf is known to reduce several symptoms caused by different insect pests and also plant diseases thereby promoting healthy growth of the plants. Also use of this amf will increase the uptake of nutrient from the soils through symbiotic relationships between plants and fungi. The uptake of important minerals which are drawn from deeper layers of soils is observed with the help pf amf. This study reveals the benefits of the use of amf under severe disease and pest incidences thereby known as an alternate for harmful chemical pesticides and fungicides.
