To investigate the effects of arbuscular mycorrhiza (AM) and phosphorus (P) rates on the uptake of primary and secondary nutrients by tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum Milli) cv. BARI Tomato-2 seedlings, under P levels ranging from low to excessive, plants were grown in five levels of P (0, 7.5, 15.0, 22.5 and 30.0 mg P kg-1 soil) as TSP, either inoculated with AM or without AM. The total dry matter yield and uptake of N, P, K, S, Ca and Mg nutrients was significantly influenced by AM inoculation. Nutrient use efficiency in the AM-inoculated seedlings was also significantly higher than that in uninoculated seedlings. The application of different levels of P lonely increased different nutrients and its uptake positively up to certain level, but at higher level influenced negatively. The N, P, K, S, Ca and Mg content and uptake all were the highest when P applied @ 30 kg ha-1 and the lowest @ 0 kg P ha-1 but uptake found the lowest @ 60 kg P ha-1. There was a significant interaction effect of AM and P levels on nutrients content and their uptakes positively up to certain level, but at higher level of P combination influenced negatively. Among the treatment combinations, P30 x I showed the highest nutrient contents under study and their uptakes but dry matter yield gave the highest value when AM was applied with P @ 15 kg ha-1.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3329/pa.v19i2.16932 Progress.

One of the biggest challenges to sustainable global food security is the need to find suitable replacements for inorganic fertilizer. This is because inorganic fertilizers production consumes an increasing proportion of the global energy budget and the supply of key raw materials, primarily phosphorus is becoming more limited. Therefore, this study was conducted to evaluate the effect of Arbuscular Mycorrhiza Fungi, AMF (Glomus mossae) and compost on soil properties and early growth response of Parkia biglobosa. The experiment was set up at the screen house of the Department of Bioscience, Forestry Research Institute of Nigeria. The experimental design was a 2 x 5 factorial, laid in a Completely Randomized Design (CRD) with four replicates. The treatments used were compost at five (5) levels: 10t/ha, 20t/ha, 30t/ha, 40t/ha, no amendments; and two (2) levels of AMF inoculation (with and without). Data on plant height, number of leaves, collar diameter and dry matter yields were generated and subjected to analysis of variance, and significant means were separated using Duncan’s Multiple Range Test at 5% level of significance. The result shows that mycorrhizal inoculation significantly increased (p< 0.05) plant height, stem diameter and leave numbers when compared with the non-mycorrhizal plants. There was no variation in number of leaves and height among the inoculated treatments as compared with the un-inoculated treatments which are significantly different from each other at -AMF 0 and –AMF 10 respectively. Interaction of AMF and compost at 40 t ha-1 had the highest plant height with a value of 35.06 cm. Application of 40 t ha-1 of compost with inoculation significantly increased (p< 0.05) the root dry matter yields while no significant differences were observed in leaves and stem dry matter yield for both inoculated and un-inoculated. The analysis of the soil before and after the experiments could also be comparable to one another as no variation was observed. From the results obtained, it can be concluded that AMF can successfully be inoculated into compost amended soil to improve the performance of Parkia biglobosa.

Set Up

Common rue (Ruta graveolens L.) synthesizes furanocoumarins, which are used in dermatology. The production of these molecules requires the improvement of cultural techniques so as to provide plant material with a high content and (or) yield of furanocoumarins for the pharmaceutical extraction industry. Two experiments were set up, firstly, to improve our understanding of the production of these secondary metabolites by the plant and, secondly, to study the influence of successive cuts on their synthesis. The furanocoumarin content was dependent on the proportion of leaves and fruits on the plant. Conversely, it was independent of the biomass at a given age. The shoots harvested 3 months after sowing had a high furanocoumarin content, as did the fruits in the 2nd year (in both cases about 0.9% of the dry matter). However, the dry matter yield produced was low (0.2 and 1.6 tonnes·ha-1, respectively). The harvest of the shoots in the 2nd year gave a high yield (about 5 tonnes·ha-1) but had a lower furanocoumarin content (0.4%). A system of successive cuts (three cuts in the 2nd year) enabled harvesting to be spread out. The plant material then contained 0.5% furanocoumarins, for 3.3 tonnes of dry matter harvested. The proportion of different furanocoumarins varied according to year and plant parts.Key words: Ruta graveolens L., furanocoumarin, cultivation, cuts, secondary metabolite, Rutaceae.

Vegetative Organs

The dry matter and moisture contents of the aboveground vegetative organs and kernels of four maize hybrids were studied in Martonvásár at five harvest dates, with four replications per hybrid. The dry matter yield per hectare of the kernels and other plant organs were investigated in order to obtain data on the optimum date of harvest for the purposes of biogas and silage production.It was found that the dry mass of the aboveground vegetative organs, both individually and in total, did not increase after silking. During the last third of the ripening period, however, a significant reduction in the dry matter content was sometimes observed as a function of the length of the vegetation period. The data suggest that, with the exception of extreme weather conditions or an extremely long vegetation period, the maximum dry matter yield could be expected to range from 22–42%, depending on the vegetation period of the variety. The harvest date should be chosen to give a kernel moisture content of above 35% for biogas production and below 35% for silage production. In this phenophase most varieties mature when the stalks are still green, so it is unlikely that transport costs can be reduced by waiting for the vegetative mass to dry.

Arbuscular Mycorrhiza Fungi

The research was conducted at Soroan, Ayamaru District, South Sorong, Papua. �The objective of the study was to observe the diversity of Arbuscular Mycorrhiza Fungi (AMF) that symbiosis with cultivated plants at the Ayamaru rock phosphates deposit. Based on the observation, there were four AMF associated with nine cultivated plants at the Ayamaru rock phosphates deposit, namely genus Glomus, Acaulospora, Sclerocystis and Gigaspora. Genus Glomus had the greatest diversity (13 types) followed by Acaulospora which comprised of seven types.� On the other hand, the diversity of genus Sclerocystis and Gigaspora only consisted of two types and one type, respectively.
