类黄酮对AM真菌侵染菌丝生长及酶活性的影响

类黄酮（hesperitin）能显著促进AM真菌[Glomus intraradices（G.i）、Acaulospora laevis（A.l）、G.i＋A.l]对宿主植物（玉米、棉花）根段的侵染,提高菌丝琥珀酸脱氢酶（Succinate dehydrogenase,SDH）和碱性磷酸酶（Alkaline phosphatase,ALP）的活性.当用15 nmol L^-1、150 nmol L^-1、1.5 μmol L^-1类黄酮处理时,第6周取样,G.i对玉米根段的侵染率分别为76.2%、84.5%、75.8%（对照为45.9%）,菌丝SDH酶活性分别为68.4%、75.9%、67.4%（对照为40.7%）,菌丝ALP酶活性分别为45.8%、51.4%、45.1%（对照为27.1%）;G.i对棉花根段的侵染率分别为85.2%、88.9%、83.8%（对照为59.8%）,菌丝SDH酶活性分别为76.8%、81.2%、75.0%（对照为53.1%）,菌丝ALP酶活性分别为51.2%、53.7%、49.4%（对照为35.2%）.同时,类黄酮能显著增加土壤中AM真菌菌丝的总量,对宿主植物（玉米、棉花）的生物量也有一定的影响.     

不同施磷水平下 AM 真菌发育及其对玉米氮磷吸收的影响

【目的】不同丛枝菌根 (abuscular mycorrhizal,AM) 真菌菌种 (株) 因其分离地点及宿主的不同,其生理发育与生态功能差异显著,尤其是土壤养分状况对其影响更明显。研究不同土壤磷水平对 AM 真菌侵染宿主及生长发育繁殖的影响,以及不同 AM 真菌对玉米生长及氮磷吸收的影响,可以深化了解 AM 真菌与土壤磷的关系。 【方法】采用盆栽试验,以玉米为宿主植物,土壤灭菌后分别添加 0、50、200、500 mg/kg 4 个水平的磷营养 (P0、P50、P200、P500),并分别接种 6 种 AM 真菌,以不接种为对照。测定了 AM 真菌侵染率、丛枝丰度、孢子数、菌丝密度、玉米植株氮磷比 (N/P) 生态化学计量特征,讨论了不同土壤磷水平与 AM 真菌生长发育间的关系,以及 AM 真菌对玉米吸收利用氮、磷的影响。 【结果】在 P50 条件下,AM 真菌的侵染率、根内丛枝结构、根外生物量 (孢子数、菌丝密度) 显著高于不加磷 P0 和 P200 和 P500 处理,而且 AM 真菌侵染及生长发育指标在高磷水平时,显著下降。不同磷水平处理下,不同 AM 真菌对玉米的侵染能力及生物量存在明显差异。在 P0 和 P50 条件下,接种 G.m 处理侵染率达到 75%,菌丝密度达 240 m/g,显著高于其他五个 AM 真菌。AM 真菌 C.c、R.a、C.et 的菌根侵染状况及生物量次之,D.s、D.eb 最差。在高磷 P200 和 P500 条件下,仅有 F.m 真菌处理的侵染状况及生物量最高。在 P0、P50 水平下,接种 F.m、R.a、D.eb 显著降低了植株氮含量;在不加磷 (P0) 水平下,接种处理均显著促进了玉米植株中磷含量的提高,在 P50 水平下,F.m 植株磷含量显著高于不接种对照;在 P0、P50、P200 水平下,接种 AM 真菌处理降低了玉米植株中 N/P 比,且不同菌种间存在差异,接种真菌 F.m 处理的 N/P 比明显最低。 【结论】土壤添加低量磷 (50 mg/kg) 更适合 AM 真菌的侵染及生长发育,也利于菌根效应的发挥。侵染能力及效应以耐高磷菌种 F.m 最好,然后依次为 C.c、R.a、C.et。在适量磷条件下,接种 AM 真菌能够调节植株体 N/P 比达到平衡,改善植物营养状况,促进玉米生长。

通过温室盆栽试验,研究接种苏格兰球囊霉(Glomus caledonium)条件下添加不同比例发酵牛粪(0.33%、0.50%和1.00%)对苏丹草(Sorghum sudanense)根系丛枝菌根(AM)真菌侵染率、土壤孢子密度、植株生物量与根冠比及根系磷(P)吸收效率的影响。结果发现,与对照相比,接种AM真菌处理植株地上部生物量趋于下降、根冠比显著提高(p<0.05),在此基础上添加0.33%或0.50%发酵牛粪处理土壤孢子密度、植株根系生物量和AM真菌侵染率均趋于升高,根冠比没有明显变化,根系P吸收效率显著提高(p<0.05);添加1.00%发酵牛粪显著提高土壤孢子密度、植株生物量和根系AM真菌侵染率(p<0.05),根冠比与仅接种AM真菌处理相同,根系P吸收效率则达到仅接种AM真菌处理的1.83倍。结果表明,添加1.00%发酵牛粪对苏格兰球囊霉扩繁及其宿主植物P吸收均具有突出促进作用。     

接种丛枝菌根真菌对甘薯生长的影响研究

温室盆栽试验研究 3种丛枝菌根真菌 (AM )对甘薯生长的影响结果表明 ,灭菌土壤条件下接种 3种AM真菌 (GlomusmosseaeBEG16 7GlomusintraradicesBEG14 1和Glomussp .WUM2 6 )均不同程度促进甘薯对P的吸收和植株生长 ,其中BEG16 7和BEG14 1对甘薯效应显著高于WUM2 6 ;各接种处理菌丝长度差异及琥珀酸脱氢酶(SDH)活性与其对甘薯的生长效应基本一致 ;接种BEG16 7和BEG14 1的生长效应无显著差异 ,但接种BEG16 7菌丝长度显著大于BEG14 1,其原因可能是BEG16 7菌丝活性低于BEG14 1所致。未灭菌土壤条件下接种 3种AM真菌对甘薯的生长效应不显著 ,而土著AM真菌繁殖体数量较多可能是影响其接种效果的主要原因。     

不同种植密度下丛枝菌根真菌对玉米磷吸收的影响

【目的】利用土著丛枝菌根真菌(arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi,AM真菌)与作物形成互惠互利的共生关系提高作物对土壤磷的利用效率是解决农业生产中磷供需矛盾的主要途径之一,本研究在大田玉米不同种植密度条件下,研究AM真菌对玉米根系的侵染及磷吸收作用,为揭示集约化玉米高效获取磷的机理提供理论依据。【方法】以大田作物玉米的两种种植密度(5104 plants/hm2和9104 plants/hm2)体系为研究对象,在田间原位埋设PVC管装置,通过测定菌丝生长室中的菌丝密度和有效磷耗竭来确定不同种植密度体系条件下AM真菌对玉米磷吸收的作用。【结果】相对于低密度种植群体,高密度群体显著降低了玉米拔节期土壤有效磷的耗竭量,同时增加了玉米地上部的磷含量,即磷吸收效率,增幅达20%; 在玉米拔节期,增加种植密度使根际的根外菌丝生物量(菌丝密度)降低了4%,而非根际土壤中的根外菌丝生物量(菌丝密度)增加了37%; 高密度玉米种植密度群体中AM真菌的根外菌丝对土壤有效磷耗竭的贡献增加了22%。【结论】集约化玉米生产中土著AM真菌依然帮助植株从土壤中吸收有效磷; 高密度体系下玉米对磷的吸收更加依赖于AM真菌。高密度种植增加AM真菌对玉米的侵染、 根外菌丝量和对土壤有效磷的吸收。     

丛枝菌根真菌对西藏高原固沙植物吸磷效率的影响

采用盆栽方法,就外源菌种、土著菌种(含混合菌种)对固沙植物白草(Pennisetum.flaccidum)生长和吸磷效率的影响进行了研究。结果表明,白草具有较高的菌根依赖性(平均达166.4%);不同AM真菌(或真菌组合)对白草根系均具显著的侵染效应。随菌根侵染率的提高,植株生物量、吸磷量均呈显著增加(相关系数分别为0.7465*、0.6000*);菌根菌丝对白草吸收土壤磷素的贡献十分明显,各接种处理菌根菌丝对植物吸收土壤磷素的贡献量、贡献率分别在3.2～11.6.mg/pot和61.5%～85.3%之间;接种菌根处理植株吸磷量呈Glomus.intraradicesG.mosseae+G.etunicatum+G.intraradices+Scutellospora.erythropaG.mosseae(外源菌种)G.mosseae+G.intraradices+Scutellospora.calosporaG.mosseae-I(土著菌种)G.etunicatum的趋势。此外,不同AM真菌对寄主植物地上部、根部生物量和吸磷量的影响程度明显不同,一般呈地上部根系的趋势,但寄主植物根系的生长速率相对较快;土著菌种中,多菌混合接种对寄主植物的侵染效应明显高于单一接种。     

丛枝菌根(AM)真菌对土壤中阿特拉津降解的影响

于盆栽高粱(Sorghum,龙杂一号)条件下研究了丛枝菌根(AM)真菌根内球囊霉(Glomus intraradices,GI)和摩西球囊霉(Glomus mosseae,GM)降解土壤中阿特拉津的效用。结果表明,阿特拉津(浓度为50 mg/kg)污染土壤中,供试AM真菌都能够侵染高粱根系形成菌根,而且GM比GI侵染效果好,最高侵染率可达到90.5%,显著提高了植株的生物量。接种AM真菌后土壤中阿特拉津的残留浓度显著低于不接种对照处理,并且接种GM比GI对阿特拉津的降解效果显著。接种GM处理的土壤中阿特拉津最高降解率达到了91.6%,其中菌根效应占22.6%。接种AM真菌的宿主植物根际土壤中微生物数量多于不接种处理,且GM优于GI处理,说明AM真菌能促进根际微生物的繁殖。此外,接种AM真菌后能显著增加土壤中脲酶活性,但对过氧化氢酶活性影响不显著。认为GM是一株比较理想的修复阿特拉津污染土壤的AM真菌。     

接种根内球囊霉提高氮素向甘薯块根转移和再分配的机理

【目的】研究接种丛枝菌根真菌 (arbuscular mycorrhiza, AM) 对甘薯 (Ipomoea batatas L.) 的侵染率及叶片氮代谢酶活性的影响,探索甘薯氮素吸收后在植株体内的转移和分配规律,以期为全面了解菌根真菌促进氮代谢的过程提供理论依据。【方法】采用盆栽试验方法,供试菌种为一种根内球囊霉Glomus intraradices BEG141。土壤灭菌后,以不接种菌根 (–AM) 为对照,在8 kg土中接种100 g菌剂 (+AM)。于甘薯幼苗移栽后30天、60天和90天,从甘薯茎蔓顶部往下数第5片完全展开叶的叶柄与茎蔓交叉处定量注射99% (15NH₄)₂SO₄溶液,15N总施用量为199.5 μg/plant。每次注射后三天取植株样,分为茎、叶、纤维根和块根4部分,测定生物量干重、根系菌根侵染率、15N丰度、氮代谢酶活性。【结果】接种AM处理显著增加了甘薯根部真菌侵染率及泡囊丰度、根内菌丝丰度和丛枝丰度。随着移栽天数的增加,侵染率显著增加,最高达到67%。移栽后30天接种和不接种菌根真菌处理间甘薯生物量和氮素吸收量差异不显著,移栽后60天和90天,接种AM真菌处理的甘薯生物量和氮素吸收量显著高于不接种AM处理 (P < 0.05)。与CK相比,同一生育期接种AM处理显著提高了甘薯叶片谷氨酸脱氢酶 (GDH)、谷氨酰胺合成酶 (GS) 和谷氨酸合成酶 (GOGAT) 的活性,对硝酸还原酶 (NR) 活性无显著影响。双因素分析表明,接种菌根与接种后时间对提高甘薯生物量干重、氮素累积量及GDH和GS活性的正交互效应显著 (P < 0.05)。移栽后30天,接种AM处理显著提高了甘薯茎蔓和叶片15N积累量和分配率;移栽后60天,叶片中15N积累量较前一时期显著增加。接种AM处理的叶片和茎蔓中15N积累量在30 d和60 d显著高于不接种AM处理 (P < 0.05),而在移栽后90天显著低于不接种AM处理,说明接种AM处理显著促进15N向块根的转移和分配。【结论】接种AM真菌可提高GDH、GS和GOGAT的代谢活性,促进无机氮向有机氮的转化。接种AM菌剂可促进生育前期氮素在叶片中的分配,有利于地上部的生长,而后期促进地上部积累氮素向地下部转运,进而增加甘薯块根中的干物质积累,提高甘薯的经济产量。     

旱作水稻西瓜间丛枝菌根菌丝桥诱导水稻磷转运蛋白的表达及对磷吸收的影响

采用中间隔网的土培根箱试验,对旱作水稻或/和西瓜接种丛枝菌根真菌(简称AM真菌)幼套球囊霉(Glomus etunicatum Becker&Gerdemann),研究了旱作水稻/西瓜间形成菌丝桥并诱导水稻磷酸盐转运蛋白OsPT11的表达和对磷吸收的影响。结果表明:(1)根箱两侧均未接种AM真菌时,旱作水稻和西瓜根系均不形成菌根,水稻根系的磷酸盐转运蛋白OsPT11也不表达。(2)西瓜侧接种AM真菌时,西瓜与水稻间形成的菌丝桥引起水稻菌根的形成,并诱导水稻根系磷酸盐转运蛋白OsPT11表达。(3)菌丝桥侵染和直接接种侵染对旱作水稻和西瓜形成丛枝菌根能达到相同的效果,旱作水稻和西瓜的菌根侵染率分别为80%以上和70%以上。(4)在旱作水稻/西瓜间作系统中,当接种AM真菌时,水稻和西瓜根际有效磷含量显著高于对照处理,水稻地上部全磷含量降低,而西瓜地上部全磷含量升高。     

接种AM真菌对甘薯光合作用及碳磷代谢酶活性的影响

为探讨丛枝菌根真菌和磷水平对甘薯生长特性的影响,采用盆栽试验方法,设置3个P水平(P_0,P_(50),P_(150)mg/kg),研究了接种AM真菌对甘薯生长、光合特性和叶片酶活性的影响。结果表明:接种AM真菌显著增加了甘薯根系侵染率、丛枝丰度、根内菌丝丰度和泡囊丰度。不同磷水平间甘薯的侵染率、丛枝丰度均差异显著,中磷的总体侵染情况显著高于低磷和高磷水平(P0.05)。低磷和中磷条件下,接种处理显著提高了甘薯的生物量和氮磷吸收量(P0.05),其中在磷50mg/kg水平下,接种菌根真菌后甘薯氮磷养分吸收量显著高于未接种处理,地上地下部生物量分别提高了28.6%和73.3%,而高磷条件下接种处理甘薯地上和地下部的生长显著降低。在低磷和中磷水平下,接种AM真菌显著提高了甘薯的净光合速率、气孔导度和蒸腾速率;在中磷水平下接种AM真菌甘薯叶片的蒸腾速率和气孔导度达到最大值,之后随着磷水平的升高而降低;当土壤磷素供应过高时,接种AM真菌属非气孔限制因素导致的光合速率降低(P0.05)。在低磷和中磷水平下,接种菌根真菌显著提高了甘薯叶片中蔗糖合成酶、6-磷酸葡萄糖酸脱氢酶、蔗糖磷酸合成酶和磷酸酶的活性;在高磷水平下,接种后甘薯叶片代谢酶活性明显降低。不同磷水平下的菌根效应表现为P_(50)P_0P_(150),说明接种菌根的效果受土壤磷水平的影响。     

Effects of epigeic earthworm (Eisenia fetida) and arbuscular mycorrhizal fungus (Glomus intraradices) on enzyme activities of a sterilized soil–sand mixture and nutrient uptake by maize

A pot experiment was conducted to investigate the effect of epigeic earthworm (Eisenia fetida) and arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi (Glomus intraradices) on soil enzyme activities and nutrient uptake by maize, which was grown on a mixture of sterilized soil and sand. Maize plants were grown in pots inoculated or not inoculated with AMF, treated or not treated with earthworms. Wheat straw was added as a feed source for earthworms. Mycorrhizal colonization of maize was markedly increased in AM fungi inoculated pots and further increased by addition of epigeic earthworms. AM fungi and epigeic earthworms increased maize shoot and root biomass, respectively. Soil acid phosphatase activity was increased by both earthworms and mycorrhiza, while urease and cellulase activities were only affected by earthworms. Inoculation with AM fungi significantly (p?<?0.001) increased the activity of soil acid phosphatase but decreased soil available phosphorus (P) and potassium (K) concentrations at harvest. Addition of earthworms alone significantly (p?<?0.05) increased soil ammonium-N content, but decreased soil available P and K contents. AM fungi increased maize shoot weight and root P content, while earthworms improved N, P, and K contents in shoots. AM fungi and earthworm interactively increased maize shoot and root biomass through their regulation of soil enzyme activities and on the content of available soil N, P, and K.     

土壤微生物对黑麦草和百喜草吸收~(89)Sr的影响

用3.0和25.0 kGy剂量的60Coγ射线分别对供试土壤进行了辐照处理,以区分土壤中的内生菌根菌和其他土壤微生物;并以未经辐照处理的土壤为对照研究了土壤微生物对黑麦草和百喜草吸收89Sr的影响。结果表明:在对照土壤中黑麦草和百喜草根部内生菌根的侵染率分别为48.0%和28.0%,说明两种草均易与内生菌根菌形成内生菌根。尽管内生菌根菌和其他土壤微生物对黑麦草和百喜草的地上部分生物量没有明显影响,但它们都不同程度地降低了两种草对89Sr的吸收。     

免耕对不同麦玉轮作农田土壤碳组分及理化性质的影响

为探讨耕作及轮作方式对农田土壤理化性质和碳组分的影响,设置免耕、传统耕作2种耕作方式,以及小麦-玉米轮作、小麦/玉米间作、小麦-冬油菜-玉米轮作3种种植模式,共形成6个处理,研究结果表明:与传统耕作相比,免耕增加了0~5 cm、5~20 cm土层全氮、全磷、速效磷和含水量,而降低了的土壤pH和土壤容重。免耕小麦/玉米间作(NT.W1/NT.WM.1)处理的土壤容重、含水量、全氮、全磷含量高于NT.WRM3和NT.WM5处理,在不同土层间,土壤全氮、全磷和速效磷含量随着土层深度的增加而降低。土壤碳组分含量总体表现为免耕处理高于传统耕作处理,免耕处理0~5 cm土层土壤有机碳、颗粒有机碳、可溶性有机碳、微生物量碳含量较相应传统耕作分别增加了1.31%~36.57%、2.07%~35.22%、2.38%~4.78%、2.08%~11.68%,在5~20 cm土层,免耕处理土壤有机碳和微生物量碳含量高于传统耕作。在不同免耕处理下,土壤有机碳,颗粒有机碳和微生物量碳含量在0~5 cm、5~20 cm土层总体表现为NT.WM5高于其他免耕处理,相关性分析表明,有机碳、微生物量碳和速效磷呈极显著正相关,容重和有机碳呈极显著负相关。综上所述,免耕小麦/玉米间作利于改善土壤理化性质,小麦-玉米轮作有利于提高土壤有机碳,颗粒有机碳和微生物量碳含量。     

不同水肥处理对苕子和后茬玉米生长及土壤肥力的影响

在田间试验条件下,研究不同水肥处理对光叶紫花苕子(简称苕子)生长,及其翻压后对后茬玉米产量和土壤肥力的影响。结果表明,灌溉和施肥均显著促进苕子生长。在绿肥季,不论施肥与否,灌溉处理均可显著提高苕子的生物量、根系活力和N、P养分累积,NPW(绿肥季施氮磷肥和灌溉)和CKW处理(绿肥季不施肥,只进行灌溉处理)的苕子生物量、根系活力和N、P养分累积分别比相应的未灌溉处理提高34.58%和56.10%,26.49%和37.92%,43.47%和146.89%,103.84%和113.94%。苕子翻压的养分还田量为125.32～274.49kg/hm2,约占玉米季化肥总养分的26.95%～59.03%。与冬闲处理(CF)相比,不同施肥和灌溉处理的绿肥翻压均促进玉米产量和养分累积,以及土壤养分含量的提高,其中以NPW处理的提升效果最明显。周年等养分条件下,玉米季15.56%氮或50.00%磷肥料前移至绿肥季,可明显促进绿肥养分还田量的增加,后茬玉米产量(增幅为8.39%～31.19%)和养分累积量(增幅为7.31%～29.20%)也有不同程度的增加。综上,在适量灌溉和施肥条件下,苕子生物量明显增加,进而促进后茬玉米产量和养分累积量增加。研究结果可为我国绿肥农田应用及化肥减施提供数据支撑和实践依据。     

四种AM真菌接种剂的田间效应及其分子检测研究

采用灭菌土壤生产了 4种AM真菌接种剂。在盆栽条件下测试了接种剂的质量 ,结果显示 ,4种接种剂促进玉米生长效果明显 ,地上部分生物量均显著高于对照 (p <0 .0 1 ) ;以MPN试验检测了接种剂的侵染能力 ,结果表明每克接种剂中真菌的繁殖体数在 95～ 1 4 0 0之间。将AM真菌的预接种技术和农业生产上的营养钵育苗技术相结合 ,进行了玉米的田间试验 ,结果显示 ,玉米根系的AM真菌感染率早期增长较快 ,然后趋于平稳 ;AM真菌接种剂A(Glomusconstrictum)、C (Glomus三种菌混合 )和D (G .intraradices)对玉米籽粒产量有显著的增产效果 (p <0 .0 5 ) ;玉米籽粒的淀粉含量和磷含量也高于对照。运用特异性分子探针和nest ed PCR技术 ,从田间接种AM真菌Glomusintraradices和G .mosseae的玉米根样中粗提DNA进行特异性扩增 ,成功地从感染根段中检测到特定的接种AM真菌。本工作从分子水平为评价高效AM真菌的应用潜力、研究AM真菌之间及其与其他微生物之间的相互关系奠定了基础。     

Organic and Inorganic P Sources Interacting with Applied Rhizosphere Bacteria and Their Effects on Growth and P Supply of Maize

Plant growth–promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) may enhance the plant availability of phosphorus (P) in soil. A greenhouse pot experiment was conducted cultivating maize (Zea mays L.) on a P-deficient soil. Three bacterial treatments (control without PGPR and application of either Enterobacter radicincitans sp. nov. strain DSM 16656 or Pseudomonas fluorescens strain DR54) were tested in conjunction with three P treatments [no P addition, inorganic P as triplesuperphosphate (TSP), and organic P as phytin] at two different growth stages of maize (V6 and V9). Amendment with TSP enhanced growth, P uptake, and highly bioavailable P pools in soil to a greater extent than phytin. In contrast, arbuscular mycorrhiza (AM) formation of maize roots after phytin application doubled those for the TSP treatment or the control without P. Application of PGPR was also able to increase AM formation and P uptake of maize, especially when no P source was added. Furthermore, P. fluorescens inoculation resulted in an increase of highly soluble soil P pools at the early growth stage. Greater impacts of phytin on P nutrition of maize may exist in a longer term as a result of slow P release and promotion of AM fungi. Benefits to maize P nutrition derived from PGPR application can be expected under P deficiency.     

Earthworm (Aporrectodea trapezoides)–mycorrhiza (Glomus intraradices) interaction and nitrogen and phosphorus uptake by maize

The interactive impacts of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF, Glomus intraradices) and earthworms (Aporrectodea trapezoides) on maize (Zea mays L.) growth and nutrient uptake were studied under near natural conditions with pots buried in the soil of a maize field. Treatments included maize plants inoculated vs. not inoculated with AMF, treated or not treated with earthworms, at low (25 mg kg⁻¹) or high (175 mg kg⁻¹) P fertilization rate. Wheat straw was added as feed for earthworms. Root colonization, mycorrhiza structure, plant biomass and N and P contents of shoots and roots, soil available P and NO₃⁻–N concentrations, and soil microbial biomass C and N were measured at harvest. Results indicated that mycorrhizal colonization increased markedly in maize inoculated with AMF especially at low P rate, which was further enhanced by the addition of earthworms. AMF and earthworms interactively increased maize shoot and root biomass as well as N and P uptake but decreased soil NO₃⁻–N and available P concentrations at harvest. Earthworm and AMF interaction also increased soil microbial biomass C, which probably improved root N and P contents and indirectly increased the shoot N and P uptake. At low P rate, soil N mobilization by earthworms might have reduced potential N competition by arbuscular mycorrhizal hyphae, resulting in greater plant shoot and root biomass. Earthworms and AMF interactively enhanced soil N and P availability, leading to greater nutrient uptake and plant growth.     

Nutrient uptake and growth of potato: Arbuscular mycorrhiza symbiosis interacts with quality and quantity of amended biochars

Aims : The aim of this study was to explore interactive effects between quality (types) and quantity (application rates) of biochar as well as of arbuscular mycorrhiza (AM) symbiosis on the growth of potato plants. Methods : A low P sandy loam soil was amended with 0%, 1.5%, or 2.5% (w/w) of either of 4 types of biochar, which were produced from wheat straw pellets (WSP) or miscanthus straw pellets (MSP) pyrolyzed at temperatures of either 550°C or 700°C. Potato plants grown in pots containing the soils or soil biochar mixture were inoculated with or without AM fungus (AMF), Rhizophagus irregularis. The experiment was carried out under fully irrigated semi‐field conditions and plants were harvested 101 days after planting. Results : Application of high temperature biochar decreased growth, biomass and tuber yield of potato plants, while the low temperature biochar had a similar effect on yield as plants grown without biochar amendment. Total biomass of potato plants were decreased with the increasing rate of biochar. Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungus inoculation stimulated the growth of potato plants in all organs, increased tuber biomass significantly in 1.5% MSP700 amended plants, and to a lesser degree for WSP700, MSP550, and WSP550. In addition, plant biomass gain was linearly related to N, P, and K uptake, the ratio of P to N in the leaf of plants indicated that all treatments were mainly P‐limited. A multiple linear regression using P uptake and biochar rate as independent variables explained 91% of the variation in total biomass. The single effect of AMF inoculation, type and rate of biochar affected plant N, P and K uptake similarly. While AMF inoculation significantly increased P uptake in potato plants grown in soil with WSP700 or MSP700 despite of the rate of biochar. In general, application of biochar significantly increased AMF root colonization of potato plants. Conclusions : The application of MSP550 at 1.5% combined with AMF stimulated growth of potato the most. Furthermore, the results indicated that the interactive effect of AMF inoculation, biochar type and application rate on potato growth to a large extent could be explained by effects on plant nutrient uptake.     

Impact Assessment of Arbuscular Mycorrhiza Azospirillum and Chemical Fertilizer Application on Soil Health and Ecology

The study was conducted at the Agricultural Experimental Farm of the Indian Statistical Institute, Giridih, Jharkhand, India, during the winter season of 2007–2008 and 2008–2009. Baby corn cob and green fodder yields were greatest in T₁₅ [100% recommended dose of fertilizers (RDF) + arbuscular mycorrhiza (AM) + Azospirillum]. Soil organic carbon (SOC) and residual soil fertility (NPK) were greatest in T₁₆ (150% RDF + AM + Azospirillum). In contrast, soil microbial load [colony-forming units (CFUs) of bacteria, diazotrophs, fungi, and Azospirillum], AM biomass, soil respiration, microbial biomass carbon, metabolic quotient, microbial quotient, and enzymes (urease and acid phosphatase) were greatest in T₁₃ (absolute control + AM + Azospirillum) followed by T₁₄ (50% RDF + AM + Azospirillum)].

为了研究不同基因型玉米品种对Pb的富集特征,选用2个Pb低富集玉米品种(曲辰11号、曲辰3号)和2个Pb高富集玉米品种(靖丰8号、旭玉1446),开展Pb胁迫(2 000 mg·kg-1)下的大田试验,研究了玉米植株生物量的变化、各部位Pb含量、Pb总吸收量、富集与转运规律、土壤p H值及有效态Pb含量。结果表明:(1)与对照相比,Pb胁迫导致4个玉米品种根、茎、叶和籽粒生物量不同程度的下降,总生物量下降9.65%~20.46%,但低富集玉米品种生物量的下降程度小于高富集玉米品种;(2)玉米各部位的Pb含量分配规律为根叶茎籽粒,分别为95.39~121.02、25.56~43.21、14.06~25.41、2.52~5.38 mg·kg-1;低富集玉米品种根的Pb含量高于高富集玉米品种,而茎、叶和籽粒的Pb含量低于高富集玉米品种;玉米植株对Pb的总吸收量为4.46~7.94 mg·株-1,低富集玉米品种植株的Pb总吸收量显著低于高富集玉米品种;(3)不同基因型玉米品种对Pb的富集系数和转运系数均小于1,表现为低富集玉米品种低于高富集玉米品种;(4)不同基因型玉米品种土壤p H值为6.60~6.82,且低富集玉米品种显著高于高富集玉米品种,土壤有效态Pb含量范围为969.86~1 116.15 mg·kg-1。
