“…The researchers observed that these additives positively influenced the speed of plant establishment, weight of dry roots, height of plants, biomass above the ground, and overall biomass. Concerning the speed of plant establishment, mycorrhiza was found to enhance it by 50%, while zeolite and superabsorbent increased it by 42% and 25% respectively [21] [Table 1]. The study also found that incorporating mycorrhiza, zeolite, and superabsorbent into A. desertorum plants significantly improved their initial development and survival.…”

The demand for AMF propagules has experienced a surge as a result of their capability to amplify growth and nutrient uptake. This demand has triggered the adoption of contemporary propagule cultivation techniques, as conventional AMF propagation methods often involve extensive labor and time requirements, creating difficulties for large-scale production. The adoption of bioreactors, for example, has become one of the most promising approaches for the substantial cultivation of AMF propagules. Bioreactors offer a promising approach for the large-scale production of AMF propagules, which boost nutrient absorption and plant development. They provide superior yield, cost-effectiveness, and scalability in contrast to conventional methods. Synthetic substrates also provide a regulated environment that enhances optimal growth and development. They can be adjusted to satisfy specific nutrient specifications and promote consistent spore production. Synthetic substrates enable researchers to manipulate concentration and timing, thereby increasing spore yields and preserving non-destructive yield. This approach enables the iterative extraction of spores from the same batch. The prioritization of nutrient composition optimization in bioreactors is crucial for supporting AMF propagule growth and reproduction in future research. For instance, understanding AMF's distinct nutrient requirements can lead to media that is nutrient-rich, increased yields of propagules, and improved interactions with plants. Furthermore, developments in synthetic substrate technology can produce substrates that replicate natural soil environments. This study focused on innovative materials and additives can amplify substrate fertility and stability. Likewise, the careful concentration and timing of application when optimizing growth regulators can have a substantial impact on the production of AMF spores. These advancements can contribute to the sustainable production of AMF propagules, thereby offering advantages to agriculture and ecological restoration initiatives.
