“…Hence, it expresses the attractiveness of bio-inoculants working in low nutrient-level systems. In a study by Cardoso et al [38], a consortium of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi and endophytes was successfully inoculated in tomato crops. The functional mechanisms of Piriformospora indica, Rhizophagus clarus, Claroideoglomus etunicatum, and Gigaspora albida were similar, facilitating the absorption, translocation, and redistribution of nutrients, even under conditions of excess or deficient levels of potassium.…”

Soilless systems, such as hydroponics and aquaponics, are gaining popularity as a sustainable alternative to traditional soil-based agriculture, aiming at maximizing plant productivity while minimizing resource use. Nonetheless, the absence of a soil matrix poses challenges that require precise management of nutrients, effective control of salinity stress, and proactive strategies to master disease management. Plant growth-promoting microorganisms (PGPM) have emerged as a promising solution to overcome these issues. Research demonstrated that Bacillus, Pseudomonas, and Azospirillum are the most extensively studied genera for their effectiveness as growth promoters, inducing changes in root architecture morphology. Furthermore, PGPM inoculation, either alone or in synergy, can reverse the effects of nutrient deficiency and salt stress. The genera Pseudomonas and Trichoderma were recognized for their solid antagonistic traits, which make them highly effective biocontrol agents in hydroponic systems. The latest findings indicate their ability to significantly reduce disease severity index (DSI) through mycoparasitism, antibiosis, and induced systemic resistance. In aquaponic systems, the inoculation with Bacillus subtilis and Azospirillum brasilense demonstrated increased dissolved oxygen, improving water quality parameters and benefiting plant and fish growth and metabolism. This review also establishes the interaction variability between PGPM and growing media, implying the specificity for determining inoculation strategies to maximize the productivity of soilless cultivation systems. These findings suggest that using PGPM in soil-free settings could significantly contribute to sustainable crop production, addressing the challenges of nutrient management, disease control, and salinity issues.

“…The study was counted positive when the measured variable from AMF × hydroponic was higher than un-inoculated while the negative was when the response variable results from inoculated plants was less than control.

Finding environmentally friendly solutions for crop growth and productivity has been gaining more attention recently. This meta-analysis aims to understand the combined application of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) and hydroponic systems compared to AMF in conventional (soil) systems. The analysis of up-to-date studies revealed that the root colonization, calculated as the proportion of colonized root segments relative to the total root length, by AMF in conventional (soil-based) culture exceeded hydroponic (or soilless) culture systems by 16.8%. The mean root colonization by AMF was determined to be 52.3% in hydroponic systems and 61.1% in conventional systems. Within hydroponic systems, the root colonization ranged from 2% to 20% after 10 days of inoculation, and notably, it exceeded 50% after 30 to 65 days, depending on the growing substrate and species. Under hydroponics, AMF application had a higher (compared to none-inoculated) positive effect on crop biomass and yield than fruit and leaf quality (antioxidants, phenols, and sugars) as well as leaf nutrients. However, AMF do not always have the potential to improve crop growth, quality and productivity in hydroponics. Among the studies analyzed in this review, approximately 34% (no effect: 29%; negative: 5%) reported no discernible positive effect on biomass or yield, 37% (no effect: 16%; negative: 21%) on fruit or leaf quality, and 60% (no effect: 47%; negative: 13%) on nutrient levels within plant tissues. To improve the performance of AMF in hydroponic systems, the meta-analysis recommended maintaining phosphorus levels in the nutrient solution within the range of 0.15 to 15.5 mg L−1 as elevated levels (40–75 mg L−1) were found to significantly reduce AMF colonization. Additionally, it was observed that certain hydroponic techniques, such as the presence of air bubbles generated by air pumps in floating hydroponic systems (Deep Flow technique) and continuous circulation of the nutrient solution (Ebb and Flow systems), may create dynamic conditions that could potentially hinder the introduction of AMF spores into hydroponic systems and potentially compromise the integrity of the spores and hyphae.
