Abstract

Ultisol land is a physically and chemically poor piece of land because it needs special handling that must be done with extreme caution. Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) is one biological fertilizer technique to get around this issue. One of the tiny soil creatures that can coexist with the roots of land plants is the arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi. In order to support plant development and make it simpler for plants to absorb nutrients and maintain soil moisture, AMF can symbiose with plant roots and form hifa around young roots. The purpose of this study is: (1) to determine the effect of the application of the AMF on increasing N-total and P-available on ultisol soil, (2) to determine the effect of the best AMF application on the growth of eggplant in Ultisol. This research was conducted on experimental land II and the Laboratory of AMI branch of Sultra. The study was conducted in November 2022- January 2023. This study used a group of randomized groups. Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi consists of 5 levels, namely M0 = without treatment (control), M1 = 5 g , M2 = 10 g , M3 = 15 g , and M4 = 20 g polybag-1. The results of the study show that the AMF affected the total increase in N and P-available ultisol soil, the results of the initial analysis of 0.03% increased to 0.13% and P available from 9.00 ppm increased to 17.50 ppm. AMF with a dose of 20 g  polybag-1 provides better eggplant plant growth.

Abstract

This study aims to improve the development of Dalbergia trichocarpa, a Malagasy native tree species, on a soil invaded by Grevillea banksii, an invasive plant species in eastern part of Madagascar, by inoculating seedlings with mycorrhizal fungal, Rhizophagus irregularis and AMFn strains or rhizobial STM609 and Rn strains, or a mixed rhizobial-mycorrhizal strains. After five months of growth, the results showed that single or dual inoculation boosted significantly the development of D. trichocarpa, compared to control treatments and all parameters measured were markedly different between the time periods of plant invasions. Indeed, the dry mass of aerial biomass was significantly higher in inoculated seedlings than in control seedlings. It was also observed that the number of nodules and the arbuscular mycorrhizal colonization rates of D. trichocarpa increased significantly with inoculated plantlets. However, soil inoculated with the rhizobial strain STM609 alone showed a significantly high global soil microbial activity and the dual inoculation has promoted the soil acid phosphatase activity. These results suggest that dual inoculation with rhizobial and arbuscular mycorrhizal strains was significantly beneficial to the growth, nodulation and mycorrhizal colonization rates of D. trichocarpa in the soil overgrown by G. banksii, an invasive exotic plant species. Thus, this biotechnology can be used for restoration of degraded ecosystems in Madagascar with native tree species.

Abstract

The symbiosis of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi with plants is the oldest symbiosis in the world. The obligate nature of mycorrhizal fungi in symbiotic relationships is believed to underlie its enduring presence to this day. The application of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) based fertilizers has become increasingly common. Spores are the most important organs that determine the quality of AMF-based fertilizers, along with AMF colonization in the roots. The production of AMF spores is greatly influenced by plant physiology, including photosynthesis processes affected by canopy abundance, as well as the type of planting medium, which determines plant root growth and AMF habitat. This study was conducted to investigate the effect of pruning and planting medium composition on AMF infection and spore production in AMF propagation using sorghum as the host plant. The pruning levels tested were at one, two, and three months after germination, and thereafter, each plant was maintained for 136 days after planting (DAP). The tested planting medium composition was the ratio between zeolite and compost in five different compositions: (v/v) 1) 100:0, 2) 90:10, 3) 70:30, and 4) 50:50. The chemical characteristic of compost used was contained 15.5% C, 1.49% N, 2.54% P2O5, 1.49% K2O, pH 6.6, and some microelements such as Cr, Fe, Zn, and Mn at 5.2 ppm, 5961 ppm, 294 ppm, and 199 ppm, respectively. The Sukabumi‘s zeolite used had a size of 2-3 mm. Propagation of AM fungal spores was carried out using polybags containing 10 kg of medium according to the treatment. Plant maintenance was carried out by alternating between watering with water and Johnson nutrient solution. Watering was performed until the plants were 120 days old, and subsequently, no watering was done until 136 days after planting. The observed parameters were the development of AMF spore numbers until a 4.5-month incubation period. The results showed that pruning time can affect spore production if the plant has reached a certain vegetative age, which is three months for sorghum. Additionally, adding 10% compost to zeolite medium can enhance spore formation, even though sorghum growth may not be at its maximum in this medium composition.

Abstract

Solanum melongena L. is among the most economically valued horticultural crops globally. In the Philippines, the annual production of this staple crop increases continually. However, several biotic and abiotic factors deteriorate its overall growth and productivity. Recently, the use of sustainable biofertilizers such as arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) is gaining interest because of their beneficial impacts on overall plant productivity. One way of examining plant productivity is through root structure architecture (RSA) assessment. Hence, this study aimed to investigate the effects of AMF on the RSA of eggplants to supplement valuable data on its beneficial effects as a biofertilizer. Seedlings were inoculated with four treatment conditions AMF + vermicompost (AMF + V), AMF alone (AMF), NPK fertilizer (NPK), and native soil (C) followed by RSA assessment Results showed that treatments AMF + V and AMF alone significantly promoted lateral root branching. Furthermore, the total diameter and surface area showed a significant increase under treatment AMF + V. Overall, the mycorrhizal-root association presented enhancement towards eggplant RSA which strongly establishes the efficacy of AMF as a promising solution in promoting sustainable agriculture.

Abstract

Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) are root symbionts that are in symbiosis with the majority of plants and are generally found in terrestrial ecosystems. The propagation of AMF is influenced by many factors, including fertilization. This study aims to determine the increase in arbuscular mycorrhizal spore production by administering Nasa LOF. The research was conducted at the Plastic House of the Indonesian Mycorrhizal Association, Southeast Sulawesi Branch and the Laboratory of the Forestry Department, Faculty of Forestry and Environmental Sciences, UHO in January - April 2023 using a factorial Completely Randomized Design (CRD) with two factors, namely the first factor, the type of AMF including Glomus coronatum and Glomus claroideum and the second factor is Nasa LOF control, 2.5 ml/1000 ml water, 5 ml/1000 ml water. The results showed that the combination treatment of Glomus claroideum and administration of 5 ml Nasa LOF increased the number of spores in the 3rd month and spores after drying. Nasa LOF 5 ml is relatively applied for the production of Glomus claroideum.
