“…Many studies have reported that the application of AMF increased plant growth parameters [ 59 , 60 , 61 , 62 ]. Sharma and Kayang [ 63 ] reported that the application of AMF noticeably increased plant growth parameters of tea ( Camellia sinensis L.), such as the number of leaves, leaf area, plant height, shoot length, root length, and root and shoot weight. The combined application of biochar and AMF had a positive effect on the leaf number, leaf length, and shoot and root fresh and dry weights compared to the control.…”

Biochar and arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) can promote plant growth, improve soil properties, and maintain microbial activity. The effects of biochar and AMF on plant growth, root morphological traits, physiological properties, and soil enzymatic activities were studied in spinach (Spinacia oleracea L.). A pot experiment was conducted to evaluate the effect of biochar and AMF on the growth of spinach. Four treatments, a T1 control (soil without biochar), T2 biochar alone, T3 AMF alone, and T4 biochar and AMF together, were arranged in a randomized complete block design with five replications. The biochar alone had a positive effect on the growth of spinach, root morphological traits, physiological properties, and soil enzymatic activities. It significantly increased the plant growth parameters, such as the shoot length, leaf number, leaf length, leaf width, shoot fresh weight, and shoot dry weight. The root morphological traits, plant physiological attributes, and soil enzymatic activities were significantly enhanced with the biochar alone compared with the control. However, the combination of biochar and AMF had a greater impact on the increase in plant growth, root morphological traits, physiological properties, and soil enzymatic activities compared with the other treatments. The results suggested that the combined biochar and AMF led to the highest levels of spinach plant growth, microbial biomass, and soil enzymatic activity.

“…Tea (Camellia sinensis (L.) O. Kuntze) is an important commercial crop consumed worldwide, primarily as a beverage made from the processed leaves. Tea tree growth is often affected by soil nutrient levels, temperature, pruning, and soil microbes including arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) (Burgess and Carr, 1996;Van Lelyveld et al, 1990;Sharma and Kayang, 2017). AMF effects on plant growth have been reported in many plants, including tea plants (Aliasgharzad et al, 2011;Shao et al, 2018).…”

Tea (Camellia sinensis) plants inhabit arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) in rhizosphere, whereas it is not clear whether AMF improves leaf food quality of tea plants. A potted study was conducted to determine effects of Claroideoglomus etunicatum, Diversispora spurca, D. versiformis and a mixture of the three AMF species on leaf sugar, amino acid, soluble protein, tea polyphenol, catechuic acid, and flavonoid contents of Camellia sinensis ‘Fuding Dabaicha’ seedlings. After 12 weeks of AMF inoculation, mycorrhizal plants recorded significantly higher shoot biomass and total leaf area, whilst the effect was ranked as C. etunicatum > D. spurca > mixed-AMF > D. versiformis in the decreasing order. AMF treatments significantly increased leaf total amino acid concentrations, accompanied with up-regulation of amino acid synthetic enzymes genes glutamine synthetase (CsGS), glutamate synthase (CsGOGAT) and glutamate dehydrogenase (CsGDH). Leaf glucose, sucrose, total soluble protein, tea polyphenol, catechuic acid, and flavonoid contents were significantly higher in AMF- than in non-AMF-inoculated plants. In addition, mycorrhizal inoculation notably up-regulated the expression level of leaf 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl coenzyme gene (CsHMGR), ascorbate peroxidase gene (CsAPX), and tea caffeine synthase 1 gene (CsTCS1). These results implied that AMF inoculation had positive effects on leaf food quality partly by means of up-regulation of relevant gene expression in ‘Fuding Dabaicha’ seedlings. ********* In press - Online First.

“…Sen et al [73] used A. nodosum (granule or liquid sprays) in field experiments with wheat in combination NPK fertilizers. The application of two liquid sprayings in combination with fertilizers increases in the grain and straw yields, respectively, compared to the control more than 10% [74][75][76][77][78][79][80]. Liquid spraying of the seaweed extract stimulates metabolic processes in the leaf and helps the plant exploit nutrients in the leaf.…”

Phosphorus, other elements and natural resources are scarce, and so it is necessary to find alternative strategy to increase availability of nutrients for plants. One possible way could be application of so-called bioeffectors (BE) which should improve the mobilisation of nutrients (especially phosphorus) from less available forms in soil, improve plant growth and contribute to mycorrhiza development. BEs are commercially supplied products which contain active substances (live microorganisms and active natural compounds). BEs can be used in organic agriculture, because their application represents no risk for the environment. Several studies and experiments are focused on impact of bioeffectors' application and their active compounds on plants. Experiments were performed under different conditions (field, pot, greenhouse), on various testing plants and on various bioeffectors. These BEs have been used as a fertilizer, fungicide or molluscicide and they were applied either to soil, seed or leaf. Application should increase growth of root system and above-ground part of plants and also nutrient uptake. These products are developed for a wide variety of crops (e.g. maize, wheat, tomatoes, rape, spinach, grass, ornamentals). This review summarizes the most recent knowledge in this scientific field. Use of Active Microrganisms in Crop Production-A ReviewZlata Holečková*, Martin Kulhánek and Jiří Balík Department of Agro-Environmental Chemistry and Plant Nutrition, Faculty of Agrobiology, Food and Natural Resources, Czech University of Life Sciences, Prague, Czech RepublicMycorrhiza is highly effective in absorbing nutrients from the soil, especially for nitrogen and phosphorus. Nitrogen and phosphorus are often limited in supply and fungal hyphae are able to absorb these nutrients more efficiently and from greater area of soil than the roots, which leads to increased plant growth. This causes mutually beneficial linkage between plants and fungi, the sugars (organic carbon) formed during photosynthesis are transported to the roots and the fungi are taken and the nutrients are absorbed by fungal hyphae from the soil and are transported into plants [10,11]. Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi colonise most agricultural species (exceptions include Brassica spp., and Lupinus spp.) and play an important role in the phosphorus nutrition of many farming systems worldwide, especially on soils with low available phosphorus [3]. Literature ReviewExamples of plant strategies for phosphorus obtaining: One alternative strategy in plant production can be use of unmycorrhizal organism's P mobilizing nutrients, which should help to increased nutrient availability for plants. These substances are so-called bioeffectors.
