Micronutrient uptake and distribution in mycorrhizal or phosphorus-fertilized soybeans

Abstract: Summary Soybean plants were grown in a soil very low in available P. Seedlings were inoculated with two vesicular-arbuscular mycorrhizal (VAM) fungi or were left non-inoculated and fertilized with P. Assimilation and allocation of mieronutdents (Fe, Mn, Zn, and Cu) were determined during host development, and the uptake of trace elements in VAM plants was compared to P-fertilized, non-VAM plants of similar weight, growth stage, and P status. Copper and zinc concentrations were always higher in VAM plants, whil… Show more

“…A close inspection of Table 1 revealed interesting characteristic of AP, which higher levels tended to occur in the soils under the orchard and on the intercropping land with fruit trees. This pattern of AP may be due to the fact that more mycorrhizal roots in crops especially in leguminous crops compared to apple trees increase the efficiency of P absorption (Pacovsky, 1986;Gnekow and Marschner, 1989).…”

“…This view is supported by the fact that increasing available fertilizer phosphorus frequently increases N 2 fixation by Rhizobium in the absence of mycorrhizae. It is also thought that the plant-Rhizobium system benefits from the presence of arbuscular mycorrhizae because the mycorrhizae correct not only P deficiency but also any nutrient deficiency in the plant that might be limiting to the Rhizobium (Pacovsky 1986 ;O'Hara et al 1988). Increased mineral nutrient levels in the plant would not only benefit Rhizobium directly, but would also lead to increased photosynthesis, making a greater proportion of photosynthates available to the Rhizobium nodules (Pang and Paul 1980 ;Harris et al 1985).…”

“…Mycorrhizal colonization of dry bean roots can also alleviate Zn deficiencies and increase plant Zn uptake (Leggett and Westermann, 1986). In addition to direct benefit to the plant, arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) can increase nutrient availability to benefit N2 fixation (Mosse, 1973;Pacovsky and Fuller, 1986;AzconAguilar and Barea, 1992;Hwang et al, 1993).…”
