Abstract

In recent years, many alternative bio-waste-based fertilizers have been proven to have a beneficial effect on plant nutrition. These also include wool pellet, whose comprehensive evaluation of synergistic effects on plant development and soil biological activity is still a limited field of investigation. To address this, we explored the potential of combining soil inoculations and N-rich wool pellet as ecologically sound alternatives to N fertilizers. In a pot experiment, we investigated the effect of Azotobacter vinelandii, the Trichoderma harzianum T34, and wool pellet, individually and in combination, on the growth and nitrate uptake of the test plants, as well as on the biological activity and permanganate-oxidizable carbon of the sandy soil with low organic matter content. The combination of T. harzianum + wool pellet showed the highest biological activity and permanganate-oxidizable carbon content, while the untreated control plants exhibited the lowest values. The treatment combination of wool pellet and A. vinelandii exhibited the highest nitrate uptake by plants. Measuring the concentration of photosynthetic pigments, net photosynthesis, transpiration rate, stomatal conductance, and total dry biomass, we found that the treatments led to a significant improvement in the photosynthetic intensity of lettuce plants. These results suggest that wool pellet served as a significant source of N and that their biological activity plays a key role in improving plant parameters. Moreover, the combination of microbial inoculants and wool pellet effectively increases N use efficiency in plant growth.

通过羊毛颗粒和土壤接种提高氮的利用率
近年来,许多以生物废料为基础的替代肥料已被证明对植物营养具有有利影响。其中也包括羊毛颗粒,但全面评估其对植物生长和土壤生物活性的协同作用仍是一个有限的研究领域。为了解决这个问题,我们探索了将土壤接种和富含氮的羊毛颗粒结合起来作为氮肥生态替代品的潜力。在盆栽实验中,我们研究了乙烯绿僵菌(Azotobacter vinelandii)、哈尔茨毛霉 T34 和羊毛颗粒单独或组合使用对试验植物的生长和硝酸盐吸收,以及对有机质含量低的沙质土壤的生物活性和高锰酸盐氧化性碳的影响。哈茨藻+羊毛颗粒的组合显示出最高的生物活性和高锰酸盐氧化碳含量,而未经处理的对照植物则显示出最低值。羊毛颗粒和 A. vinelandii 的处理组合显示植物对硝酸盐的吸收率最高。通过测量光合色素浓度、净光合作用、蒸腾速率、气孔导度和总干生物量,我们发现这些处理方法显著提高了莴苣植株的光合强度。这些结果表明,羊毛颗粒是一种重要的氮源,其生物活性在改善植物参数方面发挥了关键作用。此外,将微生物接种剂和羊毛颗粒结合使用可有效提高植物生长过程中氮的利用效率。
