The global agricultural sector faces significant challenges due to increasing demands from a growing population, limited arable land and the environmental degradation caused by chemical inputs. As potential solution, microbial inoculants, particularly arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF), offer an eco-friendly alternative traditional fertilizers pesticides. AMF enhance plant growth improving nutrient water uptake while protecting against stressors, fostering sustainable agriculture. This study explores production, development, application of bioformulations, emphasizing key requirements for their effectiveness, including strain selection, genetic stability, compatibility, other beneficial carriers. Advances in production methods such as substrate-based systems, bioreactors, solid media are discussed, along with role synergistic combinations productivity. Additionally, shelf-life, quality control bioformulations addressed, focus on adjuvants, fillers, storage methods. Risk evaluation biosafety concerns related use novel strains examined, context regulatory frameworks that classify biostimulants or biopesticides. Barriers widespread adoption, farmer awareness, product quality, constraints, identified. Despite these obstacles, inoculants practices remains high, provided ongoing research, collaboration between stakeholders can address challenges.
