“…However, Montoya-Martínez et al [ 19 ] found higher values for height, biomass, leaf area, and number of leaves in the same species, although with only one autochthonous AMF consortium of A. cupreata . In contrast, inoculation with R. fasciculatus (basionym G. fasciculatum ) increased the fresh weight, number of leaves, and root length in A. grijalvensis [ 14 ]. A growth pattern similar to that found with height in A. maximiliana was found by Montoya-Martínez et al [ 19 ] in A. tequilana , who observed a steady increase.…”

“…Moreover, the inoculation of A. tequilana with R. intraradices and Gluconoacetobacter diazotrophicus or other diazotrophic bacteria was also observed to increase growth and the catalytic activity of the hydrolytic enzymes β-glucosidase, cellobiohydrolase, and en-do-1,4-β-D-glucanase in vitro [ 13 ]. In addition, micropropagated seedlings of A. grijalvensis inoculated with R. fasciculatus (basionym G. fasciculatum ) and fertilized with P exhibited increases in the number of leaves, root length, and fructan concentrations in the stems and leaves [ 14 ].…”

The benefits of mycorrhizal interactions are only known in 8 of 210 recognized Agave taxa. We evaluated the effects of autochthonous and allochthonous arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) on growth and nutrient assimilation in Agave maximiliana. The autochthonous consortium (Cn) of eight species was propagated from the rhizospheric soil of A. maximiliana, while Claroideoglomus claroideum (Cc) and Claroideoglomus etunicatum (Ce) were employed as allochthonous AMF. Six treatments were included in the study: Cn, Ce, Cc, Ce + Cc, Tf (fertilized control), and Tn (non-fertilized control, not inoculated). Mycorrhizal colonization increased over time, and the colonization percentages produced by Cn and the allochthonous AMF, both alone and mixed together, were equal at 6, 12, and 18 months. Height increased steadily and was higher in AMF-treated plants from seven months onward. Growth indicators of AMF-treated and AMF-free plants were equal at 6 months, but the beneficial effects of allochthonous and autochthonous AMF were evident in all growth indicators at 18 months and in sugar and mineral (P, K, Ca, Mg, and Fe) content. Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi significantly improved all growth parameters of A. maximiliana regardless of the origin of the inoculums. This is the first study to report the positive effects of AMF colonization in A. maximiliana.
