MUJICA-PEREZ, Yonaisy. New challenges in the production of inoculants from arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi in Cuba. cultrop [online]. 2020, vol.41, n.1, e09. Epub 01-Mar-2020. ISSN 0258-5936.
Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) are an edaphic microorganisms group that establish symbiosis with numerous plant species of agricultural interest. Production of mycorrhizal inoculants has experienced an increase since the last decade, with the emergence of products in various formulations aimed at guaranteeing their insertion in the different crop technologies. However, practical experiences with the use of these formulations have shown that there is no universal carrier and that the choice of inoculants depends on the characteristics of the crops and the conditions for their management. Cuban’s experience with the mycorrhizal symbiosis’s management, using solid formulations, has provided significant results over more than 20 years of sustained research and represents a current model to be considered in the implementation of new studies related with the inclusion of these symbionts in current agricultural practices. The 21st century marked a new stage in the improvement of inoculants based on these fungi with the obtaining of a liquid formulation with a view to diversify the forms of application of these symbionts, from their inclusion in agricultural systems through fertigation. In the present review aspects related to the technologies for the reproduction of fungal propagules, the inoculants productions, as well as the potentialities of the AMF inoculation in liquid support will be addressed.
