Am Fungi and Mine Spoil Consortium: a Microbial Approach for Enhancing Proso Millet Biomass and Yield
نویسنده
چکیده
Proso millet (Panicum miliaceum L.) was grown with inoculation of four indigenous AM fungal species in presence of different levels of mine spoil under green house conditions. The growth parameters such as biomass production, grain yield, per cent root infection and number of viable AM fungal spores in the rhizosphere of the mycorrhizal proso millet grown with 25% mine spoil were higher over the remaining treatments. The consortium of indigenous AM fungus Acaulospora laevis and mine spoil (25%) have supported significant growth of Proso millet compared to same concentration of mine spoil with other indigenous AM fungal inoculation. Higher levels of mine spoil (50% and 75%) affects on the growth and development of both AM fungi and experimental plant. The present work is an attempt towards utilization of mine spoil for the augmentation of mycorrhizal plant growth and it can be considered as eco-friendly management of mine spoil.

Relative salt tolerance of south Khorasan millets
Abstract Millets are important agricultural crops for arid regions due to short life span and their resistance to salinity and drought conditions. In Iran, three main species of millets including proso millet (Panicum miliaceum), foxtail millet (Setaria italica) and pearl millet (Pennisetum glaucum) are cultivated in Shouthern Khorasan province, eastern Iran. In order to assess inter-specific...
متن کاملModeling responses of dryland spring triticale, proso millet and foxtail millet to initial soil water in the High Plains
Dryland farming strategies in the High Plains must make efficient use of limited and variable precipitation and stored water in the soil profile for stable and sustainable farm productivity. Current research efforts focus on replacing summer fallow in the region with more profitable and environmentally sustainable spring and summer crops. In the absence of reliable precipitation forecasts for t...
متن کاملEffect of Tillage Systems on Proso Millet Production
Proso millet (Panicum miliaceum L.) is well-adapted for the Central Great Plains and could be planted in a winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L.)-millet-fallow rotation, resulting in two crops in 3 yr. To determine the most suitable tillage system for proso millet production within this rotation, seven tillage management systems were evaluated over a 6-yr period (1972-1977). The research was condu...

Eight sources of AM fungi viz., AM-01 (Jessore), AM-02 (Rahmatpur), AM-03 (Joydebpur), AM-04 (Ullapara), AM-05 (Jamalpur), AM-06 (Hathazari), AM-07 (Ishurdi), and AM-08 (R...
متن کاملRestoration of Mine Spoil in a Dry Tropical Region: A Review
Surface mining extensively alters the physical, chemical and biological characteristics of the soil, and therefore, the revegetation of mine spoil through natural process takes a very long time and poses a major problem because nutritionally it is a recalcitrant medium for plant growth. We review important studies on the restoration of mine spoils in the tropical dry region of India. Through th...
