Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) have great potential to contribute to the solution of multiple problems in agriculture, they are used in agricultural production in the form of bioprotectors, bioregulators, restoratives and other benefits. Mycorrhizal plants present higher values in height, biomass and performance; because the mycelial network is more efficient to avoid nutrient deficiency. AMF propagate in host plants that have the greatest capacity to establish arbuscular mycorrhizal symbiosis; among them it is mainly from the Poacea family and legumes. The host plants are planted in pots containing sterilized substrates of pH 5.2 to 7 and a low phosphorous source, conducted under greenhouse, laboratory or nursery conditions for an average period of six months. The study of mycorrhizae is scanty, the objective of this review compiles experiences on the effect of types of substrates, and hosts that favours the propagation of AMF, which can be used by researchers who are interested in recovering the deteriorated agroecosystem, mitigating pollution and contributing to quality food.

Palabras clave : Substrates; hosts; propagation of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi; effectiveness; bioinoculants.
