“…It is attributed to the particular environmental conditions, soil properties, plant species, and number of spores inoculated, which can all together influence the magnitude of spore by AMF. It is possible that the specific combination of these factors in our study favored a sustained increase in spore densities, leading to results superior to those observed in other experiments (17) .…”

Objective: The present study aimed to assess the effects of Greenical VAM TM , a commercial mycorrhizal fungi tablet comprised of Rhizophagus fasciculatus and Rhizophagus intraradices, on sugarcane growth and yield differences. Methods: Two sugarcane cultivars, Co 0238 and Co 86002, were exposed to two AMF inoculation levels, each replicated three times. Parameters included root colonization, soil properties, nutrient uptake, and sugarcane productivity. Findings: AMF significantly improved root colonization, soil properties, nutrient uptake, and overall sugarcane productivity in both cultivars. Co 0238 performed better, highlighting varietal differences. Our study emphasizes the potential of AMF like Greenical VAM TM to enhance sugarcane development and yield under favorable conditions. AMF root colonization varied between 56% and 76% throughout the studied cultivars, with Co 0238 outperforming Co 86002 in terms of yield parameters. This improvement resulted in improved yield characteristics and overall sugarcane production. Novelty: This research pioneers the use of Greenical VAM TM in sugarcane cultivation, with practical implications for higher yields. Each tablet boasts an impressive spore concentration of 50,000 spores per gram, surpassing existing formulations.

“…To solve the problem of food safety and the increasing concerns in respect of the environment in an eco-friendly manner, the use of biofertilizers, biopesticides, and biostimulants is gaining the necessary attention in the agricultural sector (Oleńska et al, 2020). Based on plant-microbial associations, the utilization of viable and sustainable microbiota or their groupings has long been established as a means to improve agricultural productivity, and is in fact on an upward rise (Chukwuneme et al, 2020;Adeleke and Babalola, 2021;Fasusi et al, 2021).…”

Providing safe and secure food for an increasing number of people globally is challenging. Coping with such a human population by merely applying the conventional agricultural production system has not proved to be agro-ecologically friendly; nor is it sustainable. Cowpea (Vigna unguiculata (L) Walp) is a multi-purpose legume. It consists of high-quality protein for human consumption, and it is rich in protein for livestock fodder. It enriches the soil in that it recycles nutrients through the fixation of nitrogen in association with nodulating bacteria. However, the productivity of this multi-functional, indigenous legume that is of great value to African smallholder farmers and the rural populace, and also to urban consumers and entrepreneurs, is limited. Because cowpea is of strategic importance in Africa, there is a need to improve on its productivity. Such endeavors in Africa are wrought with challenges that include drought, salinity, the excessive demand among farmers for synthetic chemicals, the repercussions of climate change, declining soil nutrients, microbial infestations, pest issues, and so forth. Nevertheless, giant strides have already been made and there have already been improvements in adopting sustainable and smart biotechnological approaches that are favorably influencing the production costs of cowpea and its availability. As such, the prospects for a leap in cowpea productivity in Africa and in the enhancement of its genetic gain are good. Potential and viable means for overcoming some of the above-mentioned production constraints would be to focus on the key cowpea producer nations in Africa and to encourage them to embrace biotechnological techniques in an integrated approach to enhance for sustainable productivity. This review highlights the spectrum of constraints that limit the cowpea yield, but looks ahead of the constraints and seeks a way forward to improve cowpea productivity in Africa. More importantly, this review investigates applications and insights concerning mechanisms of action for implementing eco-friendly biotechnological techniques, such as the deployment of bio inoculants, applying climate-smart agricultural (CSA) practices, agricultural conservation techniques, and multi-omics smart technology in the spheres of genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, and metabolomics, for improving cowpea yields and productivity to achieve sustainable agro-ecosystems, and ensuring their stability.

“…solani treatment, indicating that AMF formed a competitive relationship with F. solani, and has occupied a favorable niche in the root system (Fasusi et al, 2021) Plants maintain a dynamic balance of reactive oxygen in their tissues through a well-defined antioxidant system, including SOD, POD, CAT and other reactive oxygen-scavenging enzymes, without abiotic or biotic stress (Yang et al, 2020). In this study, the level of nascent oxygen species rises rapidly after F. solani infection (Figure 2), and the activity of active oxygen-scavenging enzymes activity is not enough to cope with the invasion of the external agents.…”

Fusarium solani exerts detrimental effects on plant growth, which is one of the reasons for the incidence of apple replant disease. Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) enhance plant resistance to Fusarium wilt; however, the mechanism remains poorly understood. Therefore, the present study investigated the symbiosis between apple and AMF and explored the physiology, especially nitrate metabolism, antioxidant defense, and photosynthetic performance, when infected by F. solani. The experiment was carried out with four treatments, namely −AMF − F. solani, −AMF + F. solani, −AMF + F. solani, and + AMF + F. solani. In this study, the −AMF + F. solani treatment increased the activity of enzymes associated with nitrogen metabolism, such as the nitrate and nitrite reductases, in the apple root system. The +AMF + F. solani treatment showed higher antioxidant enzyme activities than the −AMF + F. solani by F. solani infection. The apple seedlings of the +AMF + F. solani treatment decreased reactive oxygen accumulation and reduced the oxidative damages triggered by F. solani infection. The improvement in antioxidant capacity due to the +AMF + F. solani treatment was closely associated with the upregulation of genes related to the antioxidant system. The F. solani infection greatly damaged the photosynthetic process, while the +AMF + F. solani treatment significantly improved it compared to the −AMF + F. solani treatment. In conclusion, the study demonstrated that the apple‐AMF symbiosis plays an active role in regulating the resistance against F. solani infection by enhancing defense response and nitrogen metabolism.
