Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi (AMF) and their possibilities for cleaner blackberry production

Introduction— Blackberry (Rubus glaucus Benth) is among the promising fruit trees of great commercial importance in Colombia, and although it is proposed that the use of mycorrhizae in blackberry plays an important role in sustainable agroecosystems, there is no updated information on the subject.

Description
Summary:Introduction— Blackberry (Rubus glaucus Benth) is among the promising fruit trees of great commercial importance in Colombia, and although it is proposed that the use of mycorrhizae in blackberry plays an important role in sustainable agroecosystems, there is no updated information on the subject. Objective— To provide comprehensive and updated information on arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi in interaction with fruit species with emphasis on the cultivation of blackberry (Rubus sp.). Methodology— A documentary investigation of articles was carried out with updated information that indicated the approach to Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi (AMF) in blackberry, using as units of analysis the articles published by national and international journals and the databases selected during the period. from 2010 to 2020. Results— A total of 20 original articles published were found, distributed like this: national magazines, 6 articles; international magazines, 7 articles; and in databases, 7 articles. Conclusions— The use of AMF in fruit trees is encouraging in Colombia and to a certain extent also in the cultivation of blackberry, however, it is necessary to deepen on aspects related to the response capacity of each crop to mycorrhizal symbiosis, turning this into an obstacle to the larger-scale application of this biotechnology, as well as increasing scientific research on native AMF species and their mycorrhizal potential for achieving cleaner and more sustainable agriculture.
