Set Up

The influence of indigenous vesicular-arbuscular mycorrhizal infection on the assessment of phosphorus (P) efficiency in wheat ( Triticum aestivum L. cv. Spear), barley (Hordeum vulgare L. cv. Galleon) and rye (Secale cereale L. cv. S.A. Commercial) was studied. P efficiency was defined in terms of uptake (mg P pot-1) or utilization (g dw mg-1 P). Experiments were set up with two soils which had low concentrations of plant available P and had been used in a previous study of P efficiency in cereals. Numbers of spores and infective propagules were significantly different in the two soils. In the soil with low propagule density, the extent of mycorrhizal infection of barley, wheat and rye increased with time. Twenty days after transplanting 3-day old seedlings, there was no difference in the percentage of root length infected (2.0%), but at 40 days, wheat (22.4%) and barley (19.3%) had significantly greater percentage of infected root than had rye (10.7%). At 30 days, wheat had a significantly higher percentage of root length infected than barley. In the soil with high propagule density, infection occurred more rapidly, so that the percentage of root length of wheat and barley infected was not significantly different at the three times of harvest. However, infection of rye significantly increased with time and was higher (31.8%) than that of barley (19.8%) at the final harvest. Mycorrhizal infection was positively correlated with efficiency of P uptake in barley, but not in wheat or rye. However, efficiency in utilization of P by barley and wheat was negatively correlated with infection. The colonization of cereals by the indigenous mycorrhizal fungi decreased with the addition of P to the soils. The results of these studies indicate the potential importance of mycorrhizal infection in assessment of P efficiency in cereals.

SUMMARYInoculation with vesicular-arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (VAMF) improved growth of chick-pea (Cicer arielinum L.) and doubled phosphorus (P) uptake at low and intermediate levels of P fertilization in a pot experiment on sterilized low-P calcareous soil. In field experiments at Tel Hadya, northern Syria, growth, shoot P concentration and seed yield of spring-sown chickpea remained unaffected by inoculation with VAMF or by P fertilization. The mycorrhizal infection of chickpea was high (approximately 75% of root length mycorrhizal at the flowering stage) irrespective of inoculation with VAMF or P fertilization and may ensure efficient P uptake under field conditions.

We investigated the roles of naturally occurring arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi in phosphorus (P) uptake by wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) in a calcareous, P-fixing soil. Plants grew in a main pot containing autoclaved soil (NM) or autoclaved soil mixed with non-autoclaved soil (to provide inoculum of naturally occurring AM fungi; AM). Granular (GP; monoammonium phosphate) or fluid (FP; ammonium polyphosphate) fertilisers were applied in small compartments (PCs) within a main pot, to which either roots plus hyphae (–Mesh) or hyphae only (+Mesh) had access. Controls received no additional P (NP). Inoculated plants were well colonised by AM fungi. AM growth depressions were observed in –Mesh treatments with NP and GP, but not with FP. Neither AM growth nor P responses were observed in +Mesh treatments. AM plants had much higher P uptake than NM plants, regardless of the P and mesh treatments. Total P uptake by NM plants increased with FP in –Mesh, but was unaffected by either form of P in the +Mesh treatments. Total P uptake by AM plants was similar between –Mesh and +Mesh treatments, regardless of applied P, showing that roots plus hyphae and hyphae alone have the same ability to obtain P. Thus, hyphae can take over the roles of roots in P uptake when roots are not able to access P sources.

This study aimed to determine the effect of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) and phosphate (P) fertilizer on the nutrient content, phosphate uptake and in vitro digestibility of alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.).The research was conducted at green house of Forage and Pastures Science Laboratory, Faculty of Animal Science Universitas Gadjah Mada. The experiment was arranged in Completely Randomized Design using 3x4 factorial patterns with four replications. The first factor was dosage of phosphate fertilizer SP 36 (0, 60, and 120 kg/ha). Second factor was the dosage of AMF (0, 0.8, 1.6, and 2.4kg/ha). The variable measured was nutrient contents (crude protein, dry matter, and organic matter), total P uptake and dry matter and organic matter in vitro digestibility. The results showed that the interaction of AMF and P fertilizer had no significant effect on crude protein and total P uptake, but highly significant effect on the parameters of dry matter, organic matter and dry matter and organic matter in vitro digestibility.

P Supply

A vast majority of terrestrial plants are dependent on arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) for their nutrient acquisition. AMF act as an extension of the root system helping phosphate uptake. In agriculture, harnessing the symbiosis can potentially increase plant growth. Application of the AMF Rhizophagus irregularis has been demonstrated to increase the yields of various crops. However, there is a paradigm that AMF colonization of roots, as well as the plant benefits afforded by inoculation with AMF, decreases with increasing phosphorus (P) supply in the soil. The paradigm suggests that when fertilized with sufficient P, inoculation of crops would not be beneficial. However, the majority of experiments demonstrating the paradigm were conducted in sterile conditions without a background AMF or soil microbial community. Interestingly, intraspecific variation in R. irregularis can greatly alter the yield of cassava even at a full application of the recommended P dose. Cassava is a globally important crop, feeding 800 million people worldwide, and a crop that is highly dependent on AMF for P uptake. In this study, field trials were conducted at three locations in Kenya and Tanzania using different AMF and cassava varieties under different P fertilization levels to test if the paradigm occurs in tropical field conditions. We found that AMF colonization and inoculation responsiveness of cassava does not always decrease with an increased P supply as expected by the paradigm. The obtained results demonstrate that maximizing the inoculation responsiveness of cassava is not necessarily only in conditions of low P availability, but that this is dependent on cassava and fungal genotypes. Thus, the modeling of plant symbiosis with AMF under different P levels in nature should be considered with caution.

Phosphorus (P) is the second most important mineral nutrient for plant growth and plays a vital role in maintaining global food security. The natural phosphorus reserves [phosphate rock (PR)] are declining at an unprecedented rate, which will threaten the sustainable food supply in near future. Rendered animal byproducts such as meat and bone meal (MBM), could serve as a sustainable alternative to meet crop phosphorus demand. Even though nitrogen (N) from MBM is readily mineralized within a few days, >75% of the P in MBM is present as calcium phosphate that is sparingly available to plants. Thus, application of MBM with the aim of meeting crop N demand could result in buildup of P reserves in soil, which necessitates the need to improve the P mobilization from MBM to achieve higher plant P use efficiency. Here, we tested the potential of two microbial inoculum-arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) and P solubilizing fungi (Penicillium bilaiae), in improving the mobilization of P from MBM and the subsequent P uptake by maize (Zea mays). Compared to the non-inoculated MBM control, the application of P. bilaiae increased the P mobilization from MBM by more than two-fold and decreased the content of calcium bound P in the soil by 26%. However, despite this mobilization, P. bilaiae did not increase the tissue content of P in maize. On the other hand, AMF inoculation with MBM increased the plant root, shoot biomass, and plant P uptake as compared to non-inoculated control, but did not decrease the calcium bound P fraction of the soil, indicating there was limited P mobilization. The simultaneous application of both AMF and P. bilaiae in association with MBM resulted in the highest tissue P uptake of maize with a concomitant decrease in the calcium bound P in the soil, indicating the complementary functional traits of AMF and P. bilaiae in plant P nutrition from MBM. Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi inoculation with MBM also increased the plant photosynthesis rate (27%) and root phosphomonoesterase activity (40%), which signifies the AMF associated regulation of plant physiology. Collectively, our results demonstrate that P mobilization and uptake efficiency from MBM could be improved with the combined use of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi and P. bilaiae.

Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi (AMF) are mutualitic symbioses between plant and fungi that considered as natural biofertilizer with benefit to improve plant productivitity and environment stress tolerance. The availability of AMF is still low, so it takes mass production to be able to support forage development. The aim of the research was to produce AMF inoculum using hydroponic system in large quantities. This research divided into 2 stages. The factorial randomized block design was used for the first stage with A factor was type of irrigation system (Manual, Drip and Nutrient Film Technique System (NFT)) and B was the nutritional solution (AB Mix and Hyponex Red) using Pueraria javanica as host plant. Completely randomized design was conducted for the second stage by using AMF inoculum production from first stage using Brachiariadecumbens var Mullat as host plant. The best result was a combination beetwen NFT system and AB Mix significantly (P&lt;0.05) produce highest shoot dry matter, root dry matter and spore production. All type of irrigation system and nutrition showed root infection &gt;96%. AMF inoculation in Brachiariadecumbes var Mulato was significant different (P&lt;0.05) on shoot dry matter, N content, P content and P uptake.</p><p><br />Keywords: AMF, B. decumbes, Drip system, NFT system, P. javanica,</p>
