Systematic review assesses AMF and PGPR effects on maize growth, highlighting specific soil factors.

The aim is to evaluate the effectiveness of AMF and PGPR inoculations in maize production, considering environmental factors.
Conducted a systematic review in accordance with PRISMA 2020 guidelines.
Analyzed 36 peer-reviewed studies across 18 countries spanning from 2008 to 2025.
Focused on effects of AMF and PGPR on maize physiological and biochemical responses.
Soil P availability was crucial, with effective inoculation seen in soils with <17 mg P kg−1.
Dual inoculation enhanced maize stress tolerance through improved antioxidant activity and hormonal signalling.
AMF-based inoculation is beneficial in phosphorus-limited or drought-prone maize systems.

Abdinoor et al. (2026) studied this question.
