It is widely accepted that the symbiotic arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) play a key role in sustainable production systems in rice cultivation and they readily form a symbiotic relationship with these fungi. Four species consortium of AMF, Funneliformis mosseae, Rhizophagus intraradices, Clariodeoglomus etunicatum and Glomus aggregatum, produced through in vitro production system and formulated with organic biostimulants viz. humic acids and sea weed extract were tested in this experiment, both for direct seeded and transplanted paddy, under anaerobic cultivation system. AMF inoculated fields produced significantly higher yield than non-inoculated field. AMF inoculants formulated with a blend of humic acids and seaweed extract produced significantly higher grain yield than the inoculants formulated with humic acids alone, in both the cultivation systems. Effect of AMF inoculation was highly pronounced in transplanted paddy than direct seeded paddy, resulted in highest grain yield, highest grain weight, better grain filling rate and highest tiller production. It can be concluded that AMF inoculants can be potentially used for rice cultivation under anaerobic water management system, both for direct seeded and transplanted paddy and the nature of biostimulants used in the formulation also play a key role in the efficacy of AMF inoculants. Our findings contribute to the growing global consensus that mycorrhizal inoculants could play a role in sustainable rice production systems of the future, when used appropriately.

Use Efficiency

The dependency of four spring wheat cultivars (Triticum aestivum L.) Laura, Columbus, Neepawa and Katepwa on Glomus clarum NT4 in a P-deficient soil containing indigenous arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) was assessed in a growth chamber. The wheat cultivars were grown with or without 1.5 g of a monospecific culture of Glomus clarum NT4 for 95 d. The NT4 inoculant had no significant (P < 0.05) impact on the growth or grain yield of Laura or Neepawa, but increased that of Columbus and reduced that of Katepwa. The shoot P or N concentration, or the shoot P use efficiency (PUE) was not affected by AMF inoculation. However, the grain P concentration of Laura was significantly (P < 0.05) greater in the NT4-inoculated plants compared with the control. Increases in the shoot and grain yield of NT4inoculated Columbus were associated with a significant (P < 0.05) increase in the grain PUE of the plants. The % AMF-colonized root was significantly higher in NT4-inoculated Laura, Columbus and Neepawa, but there was no effect on Katepwa. The dependency of the cultivar Columbus on AMF was apparently greater in this soil compared with the other cultivars. These results suggest that the four wheat cultivars not only varied in their susceptibility to AMF colonization, but also in their ability to exploit the rhizosphere AMF community which reflected on plant yield.
