[UTILIZATION OF MICROBE TO INCREASE GROWTH AND YIELDS OF SOYBEAN IN COASTAL LAND. This study aims to obtain the right combination of varieties and biofertilizers to increase soybean productivity on Bengkulu coastal land. The research was conducted from March to July 2017, located in Beringin Raya Village, Muara Bangkahulu Sub-District, Bengkulu. The study was conducted with a split-plot design which was repeated three times. The main plot is two soybean varieties (Grobogan and Wilis). The subplots are two types of biological fertilizers, arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi, and phosphate solvent fungi. The results showed that the results of the seed weight of the Grobogan variety (equivalent to 3.38 tons/ha) were significantly higher than the Wilis variety (equivalent to 2.72 tons/ha). However, the Wilis variety showed an increase in seed weight (equivalent to 1.12 tons/ha) higher than the Grobogan variety (equivalent to 0.61 tons/ha) according to the description of each variety. The combination of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi and phosphate solvent fungi showed superior performance than arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi fertilizer or phosphate solvent fungi. The interaction of Grobogan varieties with a combination of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi and phosphate solvent fungi produced the highest seed weight (equivalent to 3.52 tons/ha) which was statistically similar to the interaction of Grobogan varieties and arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (equivalent to 3.45 tons/ha). The economics of resources using arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi are not required to be combined with phosphate solvent fungi.

While chemical fertilizers can be used to increase crop yield, the abuse of fertilizers aggravates environmental pollution and soil degradation. Understanding the effects of chemical fertilizers on the interaction between arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) and pest insects is of great benefit to crop and environmental protection, because AMF can enhance the nutrition absorption and insect resistance of crops. This study tested the effect of different levels of phosphorus, nitrogen, and their interactions on AMF, secondary metabolites, Sitobion avenae in garden, as well as the wheat traits in field. The results showed that AMF colonization on roots in the P0N1 treatment (0 g P/pot, 1.3083 g N/pot in the garden, and 0 g P/plot, 299.84 g N/plot) was the highest in both the garden and the field. The abundance of aphid was reduced in the P0N1 treatment, and there were negative relationships between aphids and AMF and phenolics, but a positive relationship between AMF and phenolics. Our results indicated that a change in the ratio of phosphorus to nitrogen affects the relationship among AMF, aphid abundance, and metabolites. The results also suggested an approach to save chemical fertilizers that could improve crop health and protect the agroecosystem against pollution at the same time.
