Marginal soil fertility, soil acidity, aluminum toxicity, and a generalized low level of available nutrients, especially phosphorus (P), are major limiting factors to maize production in highly weathered oxisols that are prominent in the tropics. Plants have evolved several strategies to improve P acquisition, including the ability to associate with soil microorganisms that potentially enhance P uptake and plant nutrition. We investigated the effect of two maize genotypes with contrasting P use efficiency and their hybrid, grown in soils with two P levels, on bacterial and fungal community structures in the root and the rhizosphere. We found that a significant fraction of bacterial and fungal diversity could be attributed to the host genotype, but in general, the soil P level was the major driver of microbiome structure followed by plant compartment (rhizosphere versus directly root associated). Slow-growing bacterial taxa increased in the low P soil, whereas fast-growing taxa were enriched in high P soil. The low P soil had a positive effect on arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi abundance, as expected, particularly inside the root. On the other hand, our results did not support selection for microbes associated to plant growth promoting and P solubilization based on P availability. Taken together, our results expand knowledge of which microbial groups are favored in P-deficient oxisol and suggest that P fertilization significantly impacts the species composition and diversity indices of bacteria and fungi communities, both inside the roots and in the rhizosphere.

In pot trial the biochemical composition and phosphorus use efficiency of birdsfoot trefoil, sainfoin and subterranean clover grown pure and in mixtures with perennial ryegrass in the next ratios were studied in the Institute of Forage Crops, Pleven, Bulgaria: birdsfoot trefoil + perennial ryegrass (50:50%); sainfoin + perennial ryegrass (50:50%); subterranean clover + perennial ryegrass (50:50%); birdsfoot trefoil + subterranean clover + perennial ryegrass (33:33:33%); sainfoin + subterranean clover + perennial ryegrass (33:33:33%). The highest crude protein content was found in the aboveground mass of birdsfoot trefoil (19.17%) and sainfoin (19.30%). The water soluble sugars contents in mixtures was found higher compared to the pure grown legumes. Birdsfoot trefoil showed the highest phosphorus use efficiency for plant biomass accumulation and nodules formation. In mixtures the phosphorus use efficiency was found be higher as compared to the same in pure grown legumes.

Abstract To optimize the use of dietary P by pigs, 5 feeding strategies were studied in a 3-phase feeding trial on 240 pigs (initial bodyweight (BW) of 31 kg): 1) C-C-C providing 100% of digestible phosphorus (Pdig, 4.3 g/kg STTD) and calcium (Ca, 9.7 g/kg) requirement to maximize bone mineralization, 2) L-L-L 60% of the Pdig and Ca requirements of C-C-C, 3) Phyt-Phyt-Phyt (phosphate-free, with phytase, 750, 686, 390 FTU/kg), providing 60% of Pdig and Ca requirements in phase 1, then 100%, 4) and 5) C in phases 1 and 3, and 60% of the need for Pdig in phase 2, associated with 65% of the requirements for Ca (N) or 80% (H), namely C-N-C and C-H-C. The BW and bone mineral content (BMC) were measured at the beginning and end of each phase. The BMC gain (gBMC), average daily gain (ADG) and average daily feed intake (ADFI) were calculated by phase. In phase 1, ADG was lower in the Phyt group than the C group (1.05 vs 1.10 kg/d, P < 0.01) and the BMC of group C and gBMC were higher than those of the Phyt and B groups (P < 0.05). In phase 2, C-C and Phyt-Phyt groups had similar BMC due to higher gBMC in the Phyt-Phyt (27.1 vs 18.4 g/d, P < 0.01). At the end of phases 2 and 3, C-C-C, C-N-C and C-H-C groups had similar BMC. The Phyt and B groups showed an increased phosphorus-use efficiency during phases 1 and 2 (+20% vs C). Phosphorus retention was also higher in the C-N-C and C-H-C groups, during the depletion in phase 2 (+24% vs C, P< 0.05). These results showed the potential of a depletion-repletion strategy including free phosphate diet to reduce phosphorus intake and excretion without affecting final growth performance and bone mineralization because of increased minerals utilization efficacies.
