“…+ 50% of recommended N 15 P 15 K 15 + Urea. Similar results have been reported by several authors, who have shown in their work that in general, the frequency of mycorrhization of inoculated plants is high, while the intensity of mycorrhization remains low (Haro, 2016;Koda et al, 2018). Indeed, according to Diagne and Ingleby (2003), the level of infection does not have to be very high to be beneficial to the plant.…”

Mycorrhizae are symbiotic associations between fungi and host plants, which confer several advantages, including good mineral nutrition. Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) then present an effective alternative in order to develop a sustainable agriculture that is less dependent on mineral fertilizers. The objective of this study was to assess the impact of organic fertilizers based on native arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi on increasing maize productivity and improving soil health in North Benin. For this study, three mycorrhizal fungi strains (Glomeraceae sp., Acaulosporaceae sp. and Diversisporaceae sp.) were used with or without mineral fertilizers. The corn variety 2000 SYN EE-W was used. The experimental design is a randomized complete block of nine treatments with three replicates. After 65 days, the endomycorrhizal infection was evaluated. The results showed that mycorhizal fungi had a positive impact on the different plant growth parameters (height, leaf area, and yield). At the height level, Acaulospora + ½ dose of N 15 P 15 K 15 recommended + urea produced good results compared to the control, an increase of 24.9%. The same observations were made for leaf area and yield, an increase of 70.4 and 39.04%, respectively. However, the results show that the rate of endomycorrhizal infection is high with Diversisporaceae sp. + 50% of recommended N 15 P 15 K 15 + urea followed by Glomeraceae sp. + 50% of recommended N 15 P 15 K 15 + urea and Acaulosporeacea sp.+ 50% of recommended N 15 P 15 K 15 + urea. In terms of spore number, the treatment Glomeraceae sp. gave the best result.

Excessive application of chemical fertilizers and other agrochemicals can cause significant imbalances in soils and agricultural ecosystems. To minimize these impacts, biofertilizers and organic fertilizers are needed to maintain a sustainable production system. The use of subterranean microorganisms in agriculture to stimulate plant growth and improve yields has recently received increasing interest. In this context, mycorrhizae represent a viable solution to mitigate these adverse effects. Mycorrhizal fungi are able to form a symbiotic relationship with the roots of plants in the environment. Mycorrhizal fungus helps the plant to absorb nutrients and water. In addition, mycorrhizal fungi play a crucial role in storing carbon (C) in the soil. Most previous studies have just considered the effects of AMF species on a specific crop in one particular area but have not assessed the balance of AMF in production systems in tropical agriculture. This consideration should allow for the optimization of cropping practices through a review of the work on the use of AMF in tropical agriculture production systems. In this paper, we will discuss, through different examples of experiments carried out in the tropics, the performance of different strategies for managing the potential of AMF to maintain a sustainable production system.

“…The lowest TN content in degraded soils was due to C:N stoichiometry, soil erosion, and lack of continuity of N fertilization. Likewise, a significantly lower amount of AP in degraded soils was likely associated with lack of P fertilization and higher P fixation by ferruginous minerals (Yimer et al, 2007;Koda et al, 2018). While P fixation is a problem in Ferrallitic-ferruginous soils, the higher TOC content in horticulture soils might have decreased P fixation and increased AP (Moges et al, 2013;Kalu et al, 2015).…”

Deforestation for conventional farming has affected soil quality (SQ) worldwide. The goal of our study was to evaluate the impact of land use change, from forest to subsistence farming, on SQ in Benin. Composite soils from forest, horticultural, agricultural, fallow, and degraded lands were collected to analyze for chemical and physical properties. Using inductive additive approach and principal component analysis (PCA), generalized (SQIg) and minimum dataset SQ (SQIMDS) indices were calculated. Results showed that upon conversion of forest, total organic carbon (TOC) decreased by more than 2 folds in fallow and degraded soils. A similar impact was observed on total nitrogen (TN). Soil cation exchange capacity (CEC) and base saturation (BS) were significantly higher under horticulture than in degraded lands. In contrast, carbon protection capacity (CPC) was significantly higher by 12-41% in forest soils compared to the lowest in degraded soils. Among the land uses, aggregate stability index (ASI) was, by far, the lowest (3.2%) in degraded soils and highest (7.5%) in horticulture soils. Soils under fallow and degraded lands had SQIg decreased by 5 to 16%, when compared with forest, indicating a significant SQ degradation. In contrast, SQIg under horticulture increased by 5%, suggesting a similar or even an improvement in SQ comparable to the forest. The PCA-based SQIMDS significantly and positively accounted for 70% of the variability in SQIg with a non-significant biasness (6 ± 3.8% at p<0.12). The TOC and CPC contributed most (20.9% and 21.1%) followed by clay (14.1%) and Ca +2 : (Mg +2 + K +1 + Na + ) (13.7%), TOC (11%), and ASI (10.5%) compared to lowest by K + (9.7%) to account for SQIMDS variability. Our results concluded that there was no significant difference between SQIg and SQIMDS, which justified our results to use SQIMDS detecting management-induced changes in SQ.
