Abstract

Tropical soils are mostly poor in phosphorus and sometimes in nitrogen and potassium. Arbuscular mycorrhizae increase the efficiency of chemical fertilizers applied to crops, and this work is part of this framework. NPK (nitrogen-phosphorus-potassium) was applied at 100 kg per ha and 200 kg per ha alone or in combination with inoculum from sorghum or leek in soil (pH 4.28). The trial was conducted on a 3 × 3 split-plot design with 3 replicates. Plant height, number of leaves and chlorophyll level in the leaves were evaluated. The frequency of root colonization by mycorrhizal fungi was also studied. The number of pods per plant, the number of seeds per pod and the yield were also evaluated. The results showed that vegetative parameters increased with the addition of fertilizers while production parameters varied little with fertilizers but significantly, when these fertilizers were associated with mycorrhizal inoculum. Treatments with 200 kg NPK combined with sorghum inoculum produced 512 kg of beans per ha, while 200 kg NPK alone produced 278 kg of beans per ha.

Zusammenfassung

Tropische Böden sind meist arm an Phosphor, manchmal auch an Stickstoff und Kalium. Arbuskuläre Mykorrhizen erhöhen die Effizienz von chemischen Düngemitteln, die auf Nutzpflanzen ausgebracht werden. In dieser Studie wurde NPK (Stickstoff-Phosphor-Kalium) mit 100 kg pro ha und 200 kg pro ha allein oder in Kombination mit Inokulum von Sorghum oder Porree im Boden mit einem pH-Wert von 4,28 ausgebracht. Der Versuch wurde in einem 3 × 3-Split-Plot-Design mit 3 Wiederholungen durchgeführt. Die Pflanzenhöhe, Anzahl der Blätter und der Chlorophyllgehalt in den Blättern wurden bewertet. Die Häufigkeit der Wurzelbesiedlung durch Mykorrhizapilze wurde ebenfalls untersucht. Die Anzahl der Hülsen pro Pflanze, die Anzahl der Samen pro Hülse und der Ertrag wurden ebenfalls bewertet. Die Ergebnisse zeigten, dass die vegetativen Parameter mit der Zugabe von Düngemitteln zunahmen, während die Produktionsparameter mit Düngemitteln wenig, aber signifikant variierten, wenn diese Düngemittel mit Mykorrhiza-Inokulum kombiniert wurden. Behandlungen mit 200 kg NPK in Kombination mit Sorghum-Inokulum erbrachten 512 kg Bohnen pro ha, während 200 kg NPK allein 278 kg Bohnen pro ha produzierten.
