Effect of inoculation with native and commercial arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi on growth and mycorrhizal colonization of olive (Olea europaea L.)

ABSTRACT Paspalum millegrana grass is a member of the family Poaceae native to the Americas, whose interaction with native symbiotic fungi has not yet been reported. The objective of this study was to evaluate the interactions between the native microorganisms and arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi in the development of P. millegrana Schrad. The experimental design was completely randomized with seven treatments (control, without AMF; native microbial inoculant; native + UFLA05 Gigaspora albida; native + UFLA351 Rhizoglomus clarum; native + UFLA372 Claroideoglomus etunicatum; native + UFLA401 Acaulospora morrowiae, and a mix of all treatments). The substrate was autoclaved sand and coconut powder at 2:1, with eight repetitions. The variables analyzed were: mycorrhizal colonization, dark septate endophytic fungi colonization, number of mycorrhizal spores, dry shoot mass, dry root mass, root length and volume, number of tiller and mycorrhizal dependence. Mycorrhizal arbuscular fungi and dark septate endophytic fungi colonized P. millegrana. The sporulation of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi associated with P. millegrana was influenced by mycorrhizal colonization, depending on the fungus-plant interaction. P. millegrana was responsive to native + UFLA05 and native + UFLA351. No correlation between tiller emergence and mycorrhizal colonization of P. millegrana was observed.

Mycorrhizal colonization was assessed in roots of trees within an Atlantic Forest chronosequence, located in the southeastern of São Paulo State, Brazil, inside Tourist State Park of the High Ribeira Valley (PETAR). The phytosociological survey was carried out in three adjacent areas, all on calcareous soil, which correspond to different time intervals during which they have been left abandoned following a slash-and-burn agricultural perturbation. Early Phase (EP) with 15 years; Mid Phase (MP) with 25 years; and Late Phase (LP) with more than 36 years without clear-cut. The inventory indicated a continuum of tree species substitution, which is dominated by species of Leguminosae, especially Piptadenia gonoacantha (Mart.) J.F. Macbr. (Mimosoideae) in the earlier successional phases. Mycorrhizal colonization, estimated by the occurrence of the mycorrhizal structures in the tree species roots, diminished during the season with less rain (winter), and showed no significant differences between successional phases in the wet season (summer). Rather, the mycorrhizal colonization was correlated with occurrence of the tree’s successional status: being positively correlated with occurrence of pioneer species, and negatively correlated with late secondary species. Mycorrhizal colonization was also correlated negatively with soil organic matter and base saturation. Twenty five species of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi belonging to four genera were identified. Six species were only identified to generic level. The species Glomus etunicatum Becker & Gerd. represented 10% of the total number of spores and occurred in all phases and seasons, while the genus Glomus represented 57% of the total of spores found in the rhizosphere. The diversity indices evaluated for the mycohrriza community were: H’ = 2.3, J’ = 0.97 and R = 4.12. These results are a contribution to the knowledge of The Atlantic Forest biodiversity and may have implications to support programs regarding rehabilitation of degraded vegetation in one of the World’s most threatened Biomes.

Abstrak. Ultisol merupakan salah satu tanah marginal yang memerlukan pengelolaan yang tepat untuk meningkatkan kesuburannya. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui pemberian Fungi Mikoriza Arbuskula (FMA) dan kompos limbah kakao terhadap kolonisasi FMA, dan pertumbuhan bibit kakao pada Ultisol. Penelitian ini menggunakan Rancangan Acak Kelompok (RAK) pola faktorial dengan dua faktor perlakuan dan tiga ulangan. Faktor pertama adalah jenis FMA yaitu tanpa FMA (F0), Glomus sp (F1), dan Glomus sp. + Gigaspora sp. (F2). Faktor kedua adalah dosis kompos yaitu 0 ton.ha-1 (K0), 20 ton.ha-1 (K1), dan 30 ton.ha-1(K2). Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa FMA berpengaruh nyata terhadap kolonisasi mikoriza, namun tidak berpengaruh nyata terhadap tinggi tanaman pada 30, 60, 90 HST, diameter batang pada 30, 60, 90 HST, dan luas daun pada 90 HST. Pemberian kompos limbah kakao berpengaruh nyata terhadap tinggi tanaman pada 90 HST, namun tidak berpengaruh nyata terhadap tinggi tanaman pada 30 dan 60 HST, diameter batang pada 30, 60 90 HST, dan luas daun pada 90 HST. Kombinasi FMA dan kompos limbah kakao berpengaruh nyata terhadap diameter batang pada 30 HST namun tidak berpengaruh nyata terhadap tinggi tanaman pada 30, 60, 90 HST, diameter batang pada 60 dan 90 HST, dan luas daun pada 90 HST. Perlakuan FMA jenis Glomus sp. + Gigaspora sp. dan kompos 20 g.pot-1 memberikan pengaruh terbaik terhadap kolonisasi mikoriza dan pertumbuhan tanaman. The effects of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi and compost of cocoa waste on myccorrhiza colonization, and the cocoa seedling growth on UltisolAbstract. Ultisol is one of marginal soils which requires proper management to increase its fertility. This study aims to determine the administration of Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi (FMA) and cocoa waste compost to FMA colonization, and the growth of cacao seedlings on Ultisols. This research used factorial randomized block design (RBD) with two treatment factors and three replications. The first factor is the type of FMA that is without FMA (F0), Glomus sp (F1), and Glomus sp. + Gigaspora sp. (F2). The second factor is the compost dose which is 0 tons.ha-1 (K0), 20 tons.ha-1 (K1), and 30 tons.ha-1 (K2). The results showed that FMA significantly affected mycorrhizal colonization, but did not significantly affect plant height at 30, 60, 90 HST, stem diameter at 30, 60, 90 HST, and leaf area at 90 HST. Cocoa waste compost has a significant effect on plant height at 90 HST, but no significant effect on plant height at 30 and 60 HST, stem diameter at 30, 60 90 HST, and leaf area at 90 HST. The combination of AMF and compost of cocoa waste significantly affected the stem diameter at 30 HST but did not significantly affect the plant height at 30, 60, 90 HST, stem diameter at 60 and 90 HST, and leaf area at 90 HST. Treatment of FMA type Glomus sp. + Gigaspora sp. and compost 20 g.pot-1 provides the best effect on mycorrhizal colonization and plant growth.

Physical And Chemical

Dominant halophytes, such as Plantago maritima, Aster tripolium, Artemisia santonicum, Puccinellia limosa, Festuca pseudovina and Lepidium crassifolium were monitored for their colonization by arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) for two vegetation periods, sampled by monthly frequency. Two saline sites (A: Apaj-puszta and Z: Zabszék) were selected for the survey due to their similar physical and chemical soil characteristics (including the salt level and salt specific anions) and the distinct site use (pasturing or not) or water regime (as drought or temporally flooded at the vicinity of the Zabszék lake). Colonization of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi greatly depended on the plant species and their physiological status, such as the mycotroph or non-mycotroph character. In this respect the highest mycorrhizal intensity (M%) and arbusculum richness (A%) was found on the Plantago maritima , while Puccinellia limosa was the less dependent species on mycorrhiza fungi. A characteristic seasonal dynamism was found at both saline sites, for all sampled halophytes. A maximum mycorrhizal colonization was recorded in late spring and early summer, when there was an increased plant-physiological initiative for the helpful symbiosis (i.e. intensive vegetative and/or generative phases of the hosts). The rate of fungal intensity in the root system (M%), and especially the arbusculum richness (A%) on the other hand was found to be dependent on the site use and the water fluctuation in the soils. A more versatile dynamism of the mycorrhizal colonization was found therefore at the vicinity of the Zabszek lake with the permanent water fluctuations. Under more drought stressed conditions an increased mycorrhizal colonization and functioning (arbusculum richness) was found, generally preceeding the high environmental stress, which was deleterious for both symbiont partners. Such mycorrhizal dynamism in the rhizosphere, however, seems to be a common strategy between the hosts and the microsymbionts in the “struggle for life” process in the Hungarian steppe.
