Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungus Funneliformis mosseae Improves Soybean Growth Even in Soils with Good Nutrition

Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) improve plant growth and may be useful in maintaining even restoring soil. However, data on the latter function are sparse only indirect, which is especially true for conventional management conditions with adequate nutrient availability. Our study focused utilizing prevalent AMF species, Funneliformis mosseae, to enhance Glycine max production, while also exploring its partly explored impact soil aggregation. Working greenhouse conditions, we examined whether, a nutrient-sufficient environment, would crop biomass accumulation nutrition, as well stability of aggregates (SAS). We looked synergistic effect dual inoculation using symbiotic rhizobium. Plants were or not inoculated Bradyrhizobium japonicum two-factorial design. increased soybean biomass, but had no P N input shoots. Mycorrhiza did affect either glomalin abundance SAS. All impacts were, however, independent from rhizobial inoculation, was ineffective this nutrient-available environment. assay suggests that arbuscular mycorrhiza have positive under nutrition. The effects growth, together fact generally do thrive good availability, should taken into account when planning mineral fertilization levels.
