The objective of this study was to verify the physiological behavior and development of maize plants under hydric deficit inoculated with the AMF Rhizophagus clarus and Claroideoglomus etunicatum and the commercial inoculant ROOTELLA BR in nonsterilized soil as a strategy to mitigate the effects of drought in the crop. Corn seeds were grown and inoculated with R. clarus, C.

- Soybean is facing productivity challenges due to increased drought conditions, prompting research into using arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) as a way to help combat drought stress.
- In a study, two soybean cultivars (Anta82 and Desafio) were tested under drought stress with and without AMF inoculation to assess their physiological and morphological responses.
- The findings showed that AMF helped improve growth and physiological traits in both soybean cultivars under drought conditions, making their performance comparable to well-watered plants.
