Mycorrhizal colonization and nitrogen uptake by maize: combined effect of tropical earthworms and velvetbean mulch

Earthworms and mulch can have positive or negative effects on mycorrhizae (fungus-roots) and N uptake by plants. In the present experiment, maize plants were grown under greenhouse conditions with or without tropical earthworms (Balanteodrilus pearsei) and mulch of velvetbean (Mucuna pruriens var. utilis). The formation of vesicles and hyphae of arbuscular-mycorrhizal (AM) fungi in roots and N uptake by maize plants was measured at harvest. The addition of earthworms and velvetbean reduced AM root colonization. Earthworms had no effect on plant root or shoot biomass. In the absence of velvetbean, earthworms reduced AM colonization, but when velvetbean was present, this effect disappeared. The addition of velvetbean mulch, on the other hand, had an effect on plant biomass (above- and belowground) and a positive effect on AM fungal colonization of roots in presence of worms, but a negative effect when worms were absent. When both M. pruriens and B. pearsei were added, shoot and root biomass and N concentrations increased. Vesicle formation was related to velvetbean mulch decomposition as well as the higher N concentration in maize roots. Management of mulch–earthworm interactions may be of value, particularly in low-input and organic agricultural systems, and deserves further investigation.

Evaluation of White yam (Dioscorea rotundata) genotypes for arbuscular mycorrhizal colonization,leaf nutrient concentrations and tuber yield under NPK fertilizer application

Yield decline in yam may not only be due to soil nutrient depletion but also to the activity of soil microflora. Arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) symbiosis helps in plant nutrition but may be affected by the application of fertilizer. The effects of nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), and potassium (K) fertilizer rates on the AM colonization, leaf nutrient concentrations, and tuber yields of eleven genotypes of Dioscorea rotundata were investigated at Ibadan, Nigeria. The soil was ferric luvisol. Eleven genotypes were selected from the previously conducted screening of 75 genotypes of D. rotundata for fertilizer response. Four application rates: 0, 200, 400, and 600 kg ha^?1 of NPK 15-15-15 were applied in a split plot design with four replications. Fertilizer rate was the main plot and variety was the sub plot. Percentage AM colonization was significantly reduced at 600 kg ha^?1 but not at lower rates when compared to zero rate and it was negatively correlated with leaf N, P, and zinc (Zn) concentrations. Leaf N concentrations were significantly increased at 200 kg ha^?1 in five genotypes and at 600 kg ha^?1 in two genotypes compared to zero application. Leaf P and K concentrations were decreased with the application of fertilizer in most of the genotypes. The NPK fertilizer of 15-15-15 at the rate of 200–400 kg ha^?1 gave yield response in eight genotypes of D. rotundata, with minimal or no effect on their AM colonization when compared to zero application. Long term study on the effect of fertilizer application on AM symbiosis in yam is recommended.     

丛枝菌根真菌对玉米锌、磷拮抗作用的影响

【目的】 利用丛枝菌根 (arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi,AM) 真菌与作物互利共生的关系来提高作物对锌的吸收是缓解锌、磷拮抗作用的途径之一,本试验在不同锌、磷浓度条件下,研究了接种AM真菌对玉米侵染和锌、磷吸收的影响,以期为揭示AM真菌影响锌、磷拮抗作用的机理提供理论依据。 【方法】 采用盆栽试验,设置三个施磷水平 (0、200 、400 mg/kg),两个施锌水平 (0、5 mg/kg),2个接菌水平[接菌 (+AM)和不接菌 (–AM)],共12个处理,每个处理4次重复。利用生物镝灯补充光照,在人工光照植物培养室内植株生长50天后,地上部与根部分别收获,测定其生物量、锌磷的含量和吸收量。 【结果】 施磷和接种AM真菌都显著提高了玉米植株生物量,不施锌条件下,施磷从0 mg/kg增加到400 mg/kg,玉米植株地下部和地上部生物量分别提高6.67倍、9.30倍。接种处理对玉米植株生物量的影响也有相同的趋势。在锌水平为5 mg/kg、磷水平为200 mg/kg的条件下,接种AM真菌玉米植株地下部磷的吸收量和含量分别增加了110%、55%;在同一锌、磷供给条件下,接种AM真菌显著提高了玉米对锌的吸收量,地下部和地上部分别是未接种处理的1.71倍和1.68倍。随着施磷水平的不断提高,玉米植株的锌含量会逐渐下降。不施锌条件下,施磷从0 mg/kg增加到200 mg/kg,玉米植株地上部锌含量降低36%,与之相反,接种AM真菌后地上部锌含量增加35%。但在高磷条件 (400 mg/kg) 下,接种AM真菌对玉米植株锌磷含量和吸收量影响均不显著。 【结论】 在本试验条件下,施磷抑制玉米对锌的吸收,接种AM真菌可提高玉米锌磷的含量和吸收量,有效缓解玉米锌磷拮抗作用,改善玉米的锌营养状况。      

冬麦免耕覆盖栽培对土壤丛枝菌根真菌多样性的影响

为揭示冬麦免耕覆盖栽培管理措施对土壤丛枝菌根真菌多样性的影响,以农田土壤生态系统为研究对象,利用Illumina MiSeq平台通过高通量测序的方法,对连续免耕覆盖栽培及有机肥管理下冬麦土壤丛枝菌根真菌群落组成及其与土壤环境因子间的相互关系进行研究。结果表明,丛枝菌根(AM)真菌在97%相似度下共获得4 515个AM真菌的操作分类单元(OTUs),分属于1门3纲4目8科10属155种。不同处理中,类球囊霉属(Paraglomus),球囊霉属(Glomus)和近明球囊霉(Claroideoglomus)为优势属,受农业综合管理措施中有机肥施用、免耕覆盖因子的影响,近明球囊霉、有隔球囊霉属相对丰度在不同处理间存在显著差异(P<0.05)。与耕作、不覆盖相比,免耕、覆盖措施提高了AM真菌多样性指数,但降低了AM真菌属的丰富度;与无肥条件相比,有机肥施用提高了AM真菌丰富度指数,但降低了AM真菌多样性指数。多元分析结果表明,土壤全磷及速效磷含量是影响AM真菌群落组成中优势属丰度变化的主要因素。免耕覆盖、有机栽培改变了土壤AM真菌的多样性及丰富度,土壤中丰度较低的AM真菌菌属更容易受到有机肥施用的影响;有机肥与免耕、覆盖管理的交互作用对AM真菌近明球囊霉属相对丰度有显著影响(P<0.05)。AM真菌群落对耕作覆盖、有机肥施用管理活动的响应受到农业综合管理活动及其相关因素交互作用的影响。本研究结果为合理农作物免耕覆盖、有机栽培管理提供了理论依据。     

菌剂与肥料配施对矿区复垦土壤白三叶草生长的影响

采用盆栽试验研究了矿区复垦土壤菌剂与肥料的不同配施对白三叶草(Trifolium repens Linn)生长的影响。结果表明: 双接种VA 菌根真菌(Glomus mossea)和根瘤菌(Rhizobium)能显著提高白三叶草根瘤数、根瘤鲜重和固氮酶活性, 根瘤数在有机肥双接种与无机肥双接种处理之间差异不显著, 而根瘤鲜重和固氮酶活性差异显著; 肥料与各菌剂组合处理中, 有机肥双接种处理的白三叶草分枝数、干物质重最大; 在白三叶草生长40 d 和150 d 时, 双接种处理的叶片数均为各处理中最大值; 接种VA 菌根真菌、根瘤菌和双接种均可增加白三叶草根系的菌根侵染率和土壤孢子数, 总体表现为双接种处理＞接种VA 菌根真菌＞接种根瘤菌, 有机肥相应处理＞无机肥相应处理＞对照; 肥料与菌剂的配合施用可有效提高植物对土壤氮、磷、钾养分的吸收。在矿区复垦土壤上有机肥与VA 菌根真菌和根瘤菌菌剂配施能显著促进白三叶草的生长, 是提高矿区复垦土壤植被恢复中比较适宜的组合方式。     

Impact of different green manures on the content of S-alk(en)yl-L-cysteine sulfoxides and L-ascorbic acid in leek (Allium porrum)

This field study investigated the impact of various fertilization strategies with red clover ( Trifolium pratense L.) green manure on the levels of S-alk(en)yl- l-cysteine sulfoxides (ACSO) and l-ascorbic acid in leek. Two of the 12 treatments were controls, one without fertilizers and the other with a commercial mineral fertilizer. The remaining 10 treatments were different forms and quantities of green manure prepared from red clover. One treatment consisted of direct incorporation into soil of the preceding red clover crop. The other 9 treatments comprised three types of red clover green manure [anaerobically digested red clover biomass (biodigestate), composted red clover, fresh red clover as mulch] applied at three different doses. Yield was increased only at the highest dose of compost and the highest dose of mulch. High doses of green manure decreased dry matter content in leek. The fertilizer treatments increased the nitrogen uptake and the nitrogen content of leek. Sulfur uptake and sulfur levels were increased only by the mineral fertilizer and by the compost. Nonfertilized leek contained 20.4 +/- 5.8 g/kg of dry weight (dw) ACSOs as determined by LC-MS/MS and 1.57 +/- 0.01 g/kg of dw ascorbic acid as determined by HPLC. The ACSOs were to 92-96% isoalliin, the rest being methiin. Alliin was identified in only 1 of 72 samples. The ACSO level was increased by 37% by the mineral fertilizer. Whereas direct incorporation of red clover, mulch, and red clover biodigestate had no influence on the ACSO level, the highest dose of compost increased the ACSO level by 55%. Ascorbic acid levels were not influenced by the mineral treatment. Green manures increased ascorbic acid levels only on a dry weight basis. A high correlation between the content of sulfur and ACSO indicated that delivering capacity of sulfur from the manure to the plant strongly affected the ASCO content of the leek. In conclusion, the composted green manure was the most useful organic fertilizer in this study and reached at least the efficiency of the mineral fertilizer.     

Population size and specific potential of P-mineralizing and -solubilizing bacteria under long-term P-deficiency fertilization in a sandy loam soil

The effects of organic manure, mineral fertilizer (NPK), and P-deficiency fertilization (NK) on the individual biomass of young wheat plants, arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) colonization in wheat root systems, population sizes of soil organic phosphorus mineralizing bacteria (OPMB) and inorganic phosphate solubilizing bacteria (IPSB) as well as soil P-mineralization and -solubilization potential were investigated in a long-term (18-year) fertilizer experiment. The experiment included five treatments: organic manure, an equal mixture of organic manure and mineral fertilizer, fertilizer NPK, fertilizer NK, and the control (without fertilization). Plant biomass, population sizes of soil OPMB and IPSB were greatly increased (P<0.05) by the application of organic manure and slightly increased by the balanced application of mineral fertilizer, while undiminished AM colonization in wheat root system was only observed in the case of the NK treatment. Compared to balanced fertilization, P-deficiency fertilization resulted in a significant increase (P<0.05) of OPMB-specific mineralization potential (soil P-mineralization potential per OPMB cell) and highest IPSB-specific solubilization potential (soil P-solubilization potential per IPSB cell), suggesting that OPMB and IPSB are likely more metabolically active in P-deficiency fertilized soils after long-term fertilizer management, and mycorrhizal plants are more dependent on AM in P-poor soils than in P-fertilized soils. Our results also showed the different effects of mineral fertilizer versus organic manure on soil P-mineralization and -solubilization potentials, as well as specific potentials of OPMB and IPSB in arable soils.     

Utilization of Sparingly Soluble Phosphate by Red Clover in Association with Glomus mosseae and Bacillus megaterium

A pot experiment was conducted to investigate the mobilization of sparingly soluble inorganic and organic sources of phosphorus (P) by red clover (Trifolium pratense L.) whose roots were colonized by the arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungus Glomus mosseae and in association with the phosphate-solubilizing (PS) bacterium Bacillus megaterium ACCC10010. Phosphate-solubilizing bacteria and rock phosphate had a synergistic effect on the colonization of plant roots by the AM fungus. There was a positive interaction between the PS bacterium and the AM fungus in mobilization of rock phosphate, leading to improved plant P nutrition. In dual inoculation with the AM fungus and the PS bacterium, the main contribution to plant P nutrition was made by the AM fungus. Application of P to the low P soil increased phosphatase activity in the rhizosphere. Alkaline phosphatase activity was significantly promoted by inoculation with either the PS bacterium or the AM fungus.     

小麦季磷肥施用对后作玉米的效果及土壤中无机磷形态转化的影响

在河北衡水潮土上进行田间试验,研究小麦/玉米轮作体系下,小麦季施用磷肥对玉米的后效及土壤中无机磷形态转化的影响。结果表明,与高施磷量(187.5 kg hm-2 P2O5)相比,小麦季磷肥施用量减少20%或40%,甚至当年不施磷,对后作玉米籽粒产量、生物量、植株吸磷量均无明显影响。从玉米苗期到成熟期,土壤中各形态无机磷下降幅度表现为Ca2-P最大,其次是Ca8-P,再次为Al-P。随着施磷量的减少,土壤Olsen-P、Ca2-P含量开始呈现下降趋势。与单施无机磷肥150.0 kg hm-2 P2O5相比,用有机肥猪粪磷替代其中20%无机磷肥,显著提高了土壤Olsen-P、Ca2-P和Ca8-P含量。本文结论认为在高肥力的华北地区小麦/玉米一个轮作周期中,小麦季减少磷肥用量,对后作玉米生长和产量尚未产生明显的影响。适当配施猪粪,减少无机磷肥,可以提高土壤中的Olsen-P和Ca2-P含量,较好地维持玉米季土壤中磷素肥力水平。     

The Use of Coal Gangue as a Cultivation Bed Conditioner in Forage Maize Inoculated with Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi

A greenhouse pot experiment was conducted to investigate the effect of application of coal gangue (CG) at different rates (0, 5, 10, 20, and 50%) and inoculation with two arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi Glomus intraradices and Glomus mosseae, as mediating plant adaptation to soil amended with CG, on the nutrient content of forage maize. The results showed CG amendment at all levels and both AM fungi significantly improved the nutrient content of the plant as compared to control. In general, the highest shoot dry weight and nutrient phosphorus, iron, and zinc (P, Fe, and Zn) were obtained with 10% CG and G. intraradice treatments, which were 49.68, 30.49, 16.72, and 75.71% higher than those of the control plants, respectively. Therefore, 10% dose of CG may be considered as a suitable dose for amendment in the corn cultivation bed in terms of providing nutrient contents for this plant as well as AM fungi root colonization.     

Influences of Potassium Chloride Fertilization on Mycorrhizal Formation in a Tropical Alfisol

This study examines the influence of different amounts of potassium chloride (KCl) fertilization on plant growth, nutrient accumulation and content, nutrient ratios, and root colonization by indigenous arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi in maize (Zea mays L.). KCl was applied at the rate of 0, 0.25, 0.50, 1.00, 1.50, and 1.75 mg/kg of soil. Effect of KCl on indigenous AM formation and function was evaluated in terms of the extent of root length colonization, plant growth, and nutrient uptake. Increasing concentration of KCl fertilization proportionately limited the total root length colonized by AM fungi as well as the root length with different AM fungal structures. Maize plants raised on soils amended with different concentrations of KCl were significantly taller than those raised on unamended soils. KCl application also significantly increased the total root length and root dry weight. Nevertheless, KCl fertilization did not significantly alter the root/shoot ratios. Higher concentrations of nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), and potassium (K) were evident in shoot and root tissues of maize (except shoot N) raised on KCl-amended soils. Phosphorus concentrations in shoots and roots significantly influenced mycorrhization and root length colonized by different AM fungal structures, and such an effect was evident for root N. KCl fertilization increased the efficiency of N and P accumulation. No significant change was evident in the K:N ratios of shoots or roots, whereas the K:P ratios were significantly altered in shoots or roots in response to KCl application.     

接种丛枝菌根真菌和巨大芽孢杆菌的红三叶草对难溶磷的利用

A pot experiment was conducted to investigate the mobilization of sparingly soluble inorganic andorganic sources of phosphorus (P) by red clover (Trghlium pmtense L.) whose roots were colonized by the arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungus Glomus mosseae and in association with the phosphate-solubilizing (PS) bacterium Bacillus megaterium ACCC10010. Phosphate-solubilizing bacteria and rock phosphate hada synergistic effect on the colonization of plant roots by the AM fungus. There was a positive interaction between the PS bacterium and the AM fungus in mobilization of rock phosphate, leading to improved plant P nutrition. In dual inoculation with the AM fungus and the PS bacterium, the main contribution to plant P nutrition was made by the AM fungus. Application of P to the low P soil increased phosphatase activityin the rhizosphere. Alkaline phosphatase activity was significantly promoted by inoculation with either the PS bacterium or the AM fungus.

Compost,Manure and Synthetic Fertilizer Influences Crop Yields,Soil Properties,Nitrate Leaching and Crop Nutrient Content

From 1993 to 2001, a maize-vegetable-wheat rotation was compared using either 1) composts, 2) manure, or 3) synthetic fertilizer for nitrogen nutrient input. From 1993 to 1998, red clover (Trifolium pratense L.) and crimson clover (Trifolium incarnatum L.) were used as an annual winter legume cover crop prior to maize production. From 1999 to 2001, hairy vetch (Vicia villosa Roth.) served as the legume green manure nitrogen (N) source for maize. In this rotation, wheat depended entirely on residual N that remained in the soil after maize and vegetable (pepper and potato) production. Vegetables received either compost, manure, or fertilizer N inputs. Raw dairy manure stimulated the highest overall maize yields of 7,395 kg/ha (approximately 140 bushels per acre). This exceeded the Berks County mean yield of about 107 bushels per acre from 1994 to 2001. When hairy vetch replaced clover as the winter green manure cover crop, maize yields rose in three of the four treatments (approximately 500-1,300 kg/ha, or 10-24 bu/a). Hairy vetch cover cropping also resulted in a 9-25 % increase in wheat yields in the compost treatments compared to clover cover cropping. Hairy vetch cover crops increased both maize and wheat grain protein contents about 16 to 20% compared to the clover cover crop. Compost was superior to conventional synthetic fertilizer and raw dairy manure in 1) building soil nutrient levels, 2) providing residual nutrient support to wheat production, and 3) reducing nutrient losses to ground and surface waters. After 9 years, soil carbon (C) and soil N remained unchanged or declined slightly in the synthetic fertilizer treatment, but increased with use of compost amendments by 16-27% for C and by 13-16% for N. However, with hairy vetch cover crops, N leaching increased 4 times when compared to clover cover crops. September was the highest month for nitrate leaching, combining high rainfall with a lack of active cash crop or cover crop growth to use residual N. Broiler litter leaf compost (BLLC) showed the lowest nitrate leaching of all the nutrient amendments tested (P= 0.05).     

磷素营养对青饲玉米产量品质形成与肥水利用效果的影响

在华北农牧交错区旱滩地条件下,以饲用玉米白马牙为试验材料,研究了磷肥不同施用量对青饲玉米产量品质形成与肥水利用效果的影响。结果表明,施磷使饲用玉米的生物产量增产10.5 %～25.1 %;显著促进了玉米植株氮素和磷素的吸收,使植株比不施磷分别多吸收氮素26.03～51.10 kg/hm2和磷素8.63～28.95 kg/hm2;植株粗蛋白、粗脂肪和粗纤维的含量随施磷量增加而显著增加;粗蛋白和粗脂肪的产量也增加显著,增幅分别为9.26 %～37.82 %和14.95 %～33.33 %。试验结果还表明,施磷比不施磷显著提高了青饲玉米的水分利用效率,增幅为10.44%～16.77%, 相当于多供水27.51～47.36 mm。因此,施用磷肥是提高饲用玉米饲草产量、营养品质和肥水利用效果的有效技术手段。     

Increased phosphorus availability from sewage sludge ashes to maize in a crop rotation with clover

A recycling of Phosphorus (P) from the human food chain is mandatory to secure the future P supply for food production. However, many available recycled P fertilizers from sewage sludge do not have an adequate P bioavailability and, thus, are not suitable for their application in soils with pH >5.5–6.0, unless being combined with efficient mobilization measures. The aim of the study was to test the P mobilization ability of red clover (Trifolium pratense L.) from two thermally recycled P fertilizers for a subsequently grown maize. Two sewage sludge ashes (SSA) were investigated in a pot experiment at soil pH 7.5 with red clover differing in its nitrogen (N) supply (added N fertilizer or biological N₂ fixation (BNF)), followed by maize (Zea maize L.). Shoot dry matter of maize was almost doubled when N supply of previous grown clover was covered by BNF, instead of receiving added N fertilizer. Similarly, shoot P removal of maize following clover with BNF was significantly increased. It is suggested that the P mobilization is related to the BNF, and a proton release of N₂ fixing clover roots led to the measured decrease in soil pH and thereby increased P availability of the tested fertilizers.     

河西绿洲灌区玉米间作绿肥根茬还田的氮肥减施效应

  【目的】  明确玉米与间作豆科绿肥根茬还田生产方式在河西绿洲灌区的氮肥减施效应。  【方法】  玉米间作豆科绿肥,绿肥(针叶豌豆和毛叶苕子)地上部乂割做饲草根部还田,定位试验位于甘肃河西绿洲,始于2011年,至本试验取样时已进行了10年。试验共设8个处理,包括无绿肥根茬还田条件下后茬玉米不施肥对照,施常规量氮肥(N 375 kg/hm2),只有针叶豌豆、毛叶苕子根部还田,以及根部还田配合常规氮肥量的80%、90%。于2020年玉米收获后测产,并测定了玉米秸秆和籽粒氮、磷、钾养分含量,同时分析了0—20 cm土壤有机质、速效氮磷钾含量及土壤氮库(全氮、有机氮、无机氮、颗粒态有机氮、可溶性有机氮、土壤微生物量氮)。  【结果】  与常规施氮肥相比,根茬单独还田降低了玉米产量;绿肥根茬配施80%、90%常规量氮肥处理之间的玉米籽粒产量没有显著变化,其中针叶豌豆配合80%常规量氮肥还显著增加了玉米产量7.6%;玉米地上部氮磷钾累积量略有增加,而籽粒氮、磷、钾养分累积量分别增加了31.7%～56.4%、37.8%～60.0%、61.7%～96.8%;玉米氮肥农学效率、偏生产力、氮素吸收效率和氮肥表观利用率均显著增加,以针叶豌豆根茬配施80%常规量氮肥处理的增加幅度最高,增加值分别为43.6%、34.5%、107.9%、35.8个百分点 (P<0.05)。采用改进的内梅罗指数法对土壤综合肥力进行评价,以针叶豌豆根茬还田配施80%常规量氮肥处理提升土壤肥力的效果最为显著,土壤综合肥力指数较常规施氮肥处理提升23.0%。偏最小二乘法路径模型和聚合增强树分析表明,施肥处理主要通过调节土壤氮贮量影响玉米产量,土壤全氮、无机氮对产量的贡献率较高,分别为36.5%、26.8%。  【结论】  绿肥根茬连续还田条件下,减少后茬玉米氮肥常规用量的20%可维持甚至提高玉米产量,大幅提升玉米的氮磷钾吸收量和氮肥表观利用率。根茬还田配合适量氮肥可以通过提升土壤氮库贮量提高土壤综合肥力。在河西走廊,玉米产量和环境效益俱佳的栽培管理方式是针叶豌豆根茬还田配合80%的常规氮肥用量,毛叶苕子根茬还田配合80%～90%的常规氮肥用量。     

Effects of leguminous plant residues and NPK fertilizer application on the performance of yam (Dioscorea rotundata ‘c.v.’ ewuru) in south-western Nigeria

The effects of cultivating and incorporating residues of previous tropical kudzu (Pueraria phaseoloides) and soybean (Glycine max) with application of NPK fertilizer on yam performance were evaluated at the teaching and research farm, LAUTECH, Nigeria. There were nine treatments: incorporation of legume residues (5 t DM ha^?1), application of recommended fertilizer rate for yam (90–50–75 kg NPK ha^?1) in the zone or 50% of recommended rate (45–25–37.5 kg NPK ha^?1), alone and in combination with residues and a control without residues or fertilizer in a randomized complete block design. Cultivation of previous legumes reduced soil nematode population (>200%) compared with no legumes. For both years, application of Pueraria residues improved tuber yield by an average of 15.8% compared with control. Fertilizer application enhanced arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) colonization of yam roots but AM colonization was lower (～50%) in plots where Pueraria residues were incorporated compared with other plots. Combined application of plant residues with fertilizer improved soil organic carbon, total N, exchangeable Ca and Mg compared with application of NPK fertilizer. From these results, it is concluded that half of the recommended NPK rate may be adequate and incorporation of residues with reduced NPK fertilizer application may be a sustainable soil fertility management option for continuous yam production.     

生物炭和AM真菌提高矿区土壤养分有效性的机理

【目的】矿区土壤贫瘠、有效养分含量低,而生物炭和丛枝菌根(arbuscular mycorrhizal, AM)真菌能够改善土壤养分,提高植物对环境胁迫的抗性和养分的利用。因此探究生物炭和AM真菌对矿区土壤的改良效果,可为矿区污染土壤生态恢复和新型肥料的开发提供参考。【方法】温室盆栽试验的土壤采自河南省洛阳市新安县江春矿区,以玉米"弘单897"为试验材料。试验设计4个处理,分别为原状土壤对照(CK)、添加生物炭(B)、接种AM真菌(M)、添加生物炭和接种AM真菌(BM),每处理重复8次,完全随机区组设计,玉米于矿区土壤中培育2个月后收获,测定根系生长、生理特性和土壤养分含量。【结果】施用生物炭和接种AM真菌均能够促进玉米生长,提高玉米叶片的净光合速率(P_n)、蒸腾速率(T_r)、气孔导度(G_s)、叶色值(SPAD值)和抗氧化酶活性,提高土壤养分含量。接种AM真菌对促进玉米生长、改善生理特性和磷吸收的效果优于生物炭,而生物炭提高土壤pH值和玉米对钾吸收的效果较好。生物炭和AM真菌联合处理玉米的总根长、根部和地上部干重分别较CK增加了84.22%、176.67%和45.84%,玉米叶片的净光合速率、蒸腾速率、气孔导度分别较对照提高35.42%、56.44%和88.31%,叶色值比CK提高了22.77%,菌根侵染率较CK提高234.20%,菌丝密度可达到4.37 m/g,总球囊霉素和易提取球囊霉素分别达到4.32 g/kg和1.60 g/kg,有机质、碱解氮、有效磷、速效钾含量分别较对照提高24.23%、43.26%、98.63%和33.93%。【结论】生物炭和AM真菌单独或复合处理均能够促进玉米生长和提高土壤养分有效性,生物炭和AM真菌联合处理可促进玉米生长、改善生理特性、促进养分吸收、提高土壤养分效果,可作为退化土壤生态修复和农业生产安全的一项有效措施。
