Epichloë endophytes are biotrophic fungi that establish mutualistic symbiotic relationship with grasses and affect performance of the host under different environments. Wild barley (Hordeum brevisubulatum) is an important forage grass and often infected by Epichloë bromicola, thus showing tolerances to stresses. Since the plant growth correlates with both microbial infection and nutrient stoichiometry, this study was performed to investigate whether the function of Epichloë bromicola endophyte to improve host growth depend upon the nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P) fertilization. Epichloë-infected (E+) and Epichloë-free (E−) wild barley plants were subjected to nine types of mixed N (0.2 mM, 3 mM, 15 mM) and P (0.01 mM, 0.1 mM, 1.5 mM) levels treatments for 90 d to collect plant samples and determine multiple related indexes. We found that E. bromicola and N, P additions positively affected seed germination. Further, E. bromicola significantly enhanced chlorophyll content and root metabolic activity under N-deficiency, and meanwhile, might alter allocation of photosynthate under different conditions. The contents of N, P and stoichiometry of C:N:P of E+ plants were significantly higher than that of E− under nutrient deficiency, but contrary results were observed under adequate nutrients. Therefore, we propose that the growth-promoting ability of E. bromicola is closely correlated with N and P additional levels. Under low N, P additions, positive roles of endophyte are significant as opposed to negative roles under high N, P additions.

ABSTRAK Euchema cottonii mengandung unsur mikro dan makro nutrien, serta zat pengatur tumbuh tanaman seperti auksin, giberelin, sitokinin, dan etilen sehingga sangat berpotensi sebagai pupuk organik penyubur tanaman. Penambahan buah nanas berfungsi sebagai sumber C, P, dan K pada ekstrak pupuk rumput laut cair. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui pengaruh penambahan bioaktivator PGPR (Plant Growth Promoting Rhizobacteria)dan buah nanas terhadap kandungan C-organik, nitrogen, fosfor, kalium, pH, suhu, bakteri patogen, dan organoleptik warna. Material yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah E. cottonii, PGPR, dan buah nanas.. Rancangan percobaan yang digunakan adalah Rancangan Acak Lengkap (RAL) dengan 4 perlakuan dan 3 ulangan yaitu perlakuan kontrol (A), penambahan PGPR dan  buah nanas 40% (B), penambahan PGPR dan buah nanas 50% (C), dan penambahan PGPR dan  buah nanas 60% (C). Parameter yang diukur adalah C-organik, nitrogen, fosfor, kalium, pH, suhu, bakteri pathogen, dan oraganoleptik warna. Data parametrik dianalisa dengan uji ANOVA. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa penambahan buah nanas yang berbeda memberikan pengaruh nyata terhadap kadar C-organik, fosfor, dan kalium (p<0,05), sedangkan nilai nitrogen tidak berbeda nyata. Perlakuan penambahan nanas 50% akan meningkatkan kandungan nitrogen dua kali lebih besar dari pada kontrol. Perlakuan terbaik yaitu pada penambahan PGPR dan nanas 60% dengan kandungan C, P, K berturut-turut adalah 7,02%, 3,44%, dan 3,41%. Kata kunci: Euchema cottonii, Pupuk Oganik Cair, PGPR,  Nanas ABSTRACT Euchema cottoniicontains elements ofmicroandmacronutrients, andplantgrowth regulatorssuch asauxin, gibberellin, cytokinin, andethyleneso ithasgreat potentialas anorganicfertilizer forfertilisingcrops.

Deficiencies of nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, and calcium were gradually induced in sugarcane grown by sand culture. There were three objectives: 1, To determine whether nutritional stress in general is a means of inducing higher sucrose production; 2, to determine whether sucrose increases can be triggered without reaching nutrient-deficiency levels which would reduce tonnage; and 3, to ascertain whether increased sucrose production can be traced to common behavior patterns of hydrolytic and oxidative enzymes. All plants received a moderately high level of all nutrients until 14 weeks of age. Thereafter, individual nutrients were gradually lowered at intervals of 2 weeks, while control plants continued to receive the original levels. All plants subjected to nutritional stress accumulated higher leaf sucrose than control plants, regardless of the nutrient withheld. In each instance sucrose increases were recorded before nutrient supply had reached deficiency proportions. General nutritional stress thus appears to trigger variations in sugar level, with nutritional imbalance rather than actual deficiency being a critical factor. All plants under nutritional stress revealed a concurrent suppression of amylase as sucrose increased. Peroxidase was greatly stimulated by all nutritional treatments. Phosphatase was suppressed by decreasing nitrate and phosphorus, but was generally unaffected by the potassium and calcium treatments. Several distinct mechanisms of increased sucrose formation are indicated by the enzyme data. Sensitivity of amylase to changing nutrient supply is discussed from the standpoint of a possible indicator of approaching deficiency.

Nondestructive and accurate estimating of the forage nitrogen–phosphorus (N:P) ratio is conducive to the real-time diagnosis of nutrient limitation and the formulation of a management scheme during the growth and development of forage. New-generation high-resolution remote sensors equipped with strategic red-edge wavebands offer opportunities and challenges for estimating and mapping forage N:P ratio in support of the sustainable utilization of alpine grassland resources. This study aims to detect the forage N:P ratio as an ecological indicator of grassland nutrient content by employing Sentinel-2 multispectral instrument (MSI) data and a random forest (RF) algorithm. The results showed that the estimation accuracy (R2) of the forage N:P ratio model established by combining the optimized spectral bands and vegetation indices (VIs) is 0.49 and 0.59 in the vigorous growth period (July) and the senescing period (November) of forage, respectively. Moreover, Sentinel-2 MSI B9 and B12 bands contributed greatly to the estimation of the forage N:P ratio, and the VIs (RECI2) constructed by B5 and B8A bands performed well in the estimation of the forage N:P ratio. Overall, it is promising to map the spatial distribution of the forage N:P ratio in alpine grassland using Sentinel-2 MSI data at regional scales. This study will be potentially beneficial in implementing precise positioning of vegetation nutrient deficiency and scientific fertilization management of grassland.
