Abstract
The application of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF), plant growth promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) and compost (C) is a biological approach to boost growth of plants. The aim of the study was to evaluate the impact of AMF, PGPR and compost on growth, physiology and biochemical traits of date palm in the absence and the presence of microorganisms in soil. Date palm seedlings were transplanted in sterile (SS) and non-sterile soils (NSS) in the presence and absence of the biostimulants/biofertilizers. After 6 months, the application of AMF combined with compost (AMF + C) revealed significant increments in shoot dry weight (SDW), root dry weight (RDW), stomatal conductance and chlorophyll a by 122, 114, 95 and 119%, respectively in SS. Moreover, PGPR treatment significantly improved the SDW by 482%, while AMF + C + PGPR treatment significantly increased the RDW, chlorophyll b and carotenoids concentration by 864, 211 and 145%, respectively in NSS compared to the control. In addition, the sugar and protein concentrations were significantly enhanced in plants treated with AMF + C + PGPR for SS and NSS, respectively compared to their respective controls. It was revealed that the organic matter, available phosphorus and glomalin were enhanced in soils amended with compost alone and/or combined with AMF and/or PGPR under SS and NSS. This study revealed the positive synergy of the tested native biostimulants with in NSS compared to SS in improving the growth, physiology and biochemical traits of date palm as well as soil fertility.
Zusammenfassung
Die Anwendung von arbuskulären Mykorrhizapilzen (AMF), pflanzenwachstumsfördernden Rhizobakterien (PGPR) und Kompost (C) ist ein biologischer Ansatz, um das Wachstum von Pflanzen zu fördern. Ziel der Studie war es, die Auswirkungen von AMF, PGPR und Kompost auf das Wachstum, die Physiologie und die biochemischen Eigenschaften der Dattelpalme in Abwesenheit und in Anwesenheit von Mikroorganismen im Boden zu bewerten. Die Sämlinge der Dattelpalme wurde in sterile (SS) und nicht-sterile Böden (NSS) in Anwesenheit und Abwesenheit der Biostimulanzien verpflanzt. Nach 6 Monaten zeigte die Anwendung von AMF in Kombination mit Kompost (AMF + C) eine signifikante Zunahme des Trockengewichts der Triebe (SDW), des Trockengewichts der Wurzeln (RDW), der stomatären Leitfähigkeit und des Chlorophylls a um 122, 114, 95 bzw. 119 % in SS. Darüber hinaus verbesserte die PGPR-Behandlung das Trockengewicht der Triebe signifikant um 482 %, während die AMF + C + PGPR-Behandlung das Trockengewicht der Wurzeln, die Chlorophyll-b- und Carotinoid-Konzentration in NSS im Vergleich zur Kontrolle signifikant um 864, 211 und 145 % erhöhte. Darüber hinaus waren die Zucker- und Proteinkonzentrationen in den mit AMF + C + PGPR behandelten Pflanzen für SS und NSS im Vergleich zu den jeweiligen Kontrollen deutlich erhöht. Diese Studie zeigte die positive Synergie der getesteten Biostimulanzien mit NSS im Vergleich zu SS bei der Verbesserung des Wachstums, der Physiologie und der biochemischen Eigenschaften der Dattelpalme sowie der Bodenfruchtbarkeit.
