Phosphate-solubilizing bacteria (PSB) can increase the availability of phosphorus in the soil. Then, we hypothesized that PSB inoculant could improve the agronomic traits of common bean under field conditions. Thus, this study aimed to evaluate the agronomic performance of the common bean inoculated with a phosphate-solubilizing inoculant under different growing seasons and edaphoclimatic conditions.Four field experiments, carried out in three different locations, in two growing seasons within two consecutive agricultural years, were addressed to a randomized block design with five replicates and seven treatments, including: Absolute control (AC), 50% phosphate fertilization (AF50B0), full-dose phosphate fertilization (AF100B0), and four treatments with different doses of the phosphate-solubilizing inoculant in combination with 50% phosphate fertilization, namely 1 mL (AF50B1), 2 mL (AF50B2), 3 mL (AF50B3), and 4 mL (AF50B4) per kg of seeds. Root and shoot development, yield components, P accumulation in grains, and productivity were determined. The phosphate-solubilizing inoculated treatments showed significant effects on the evaluated parameters, with AF50B4 standing out as a significant influence on growth and production parameters. In general, P accumulation in grains on AF50B4 was greater than that of the AF100B0 treatment. In terms of productivity, across the four locations, the AF50B4 treatment yielded 4,111 kg ha^-1, compared to 3,496 kg ha^-1 in the AF100B0 treatment, representing a 17.6% increase. The phosphate-solubilizing inoculant, especially at a dose of 4 mL kg^-1 seed, promotes improvement in growth and yield components, providing increased grain yield and P accumulation in common bean.</p>","PeriodicalId":17042,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Soil Science and Plant Nutrition","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":3.9,"publicationDate":"2024-07-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141741228","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Understanding the effects of RCTs on mung bean <i>(Vigna radiata</i> L. Wilczek) plant roots and thereby yields is crucial for drought tolerance, and few studies are reported regarding this. A field study was conducted during 2015 and 2016 at Indian Council of Agricultural Research - Central Research Institute for Dryland Agriculture (ICAR-CRIDA), India to evaluate root dynamics of Drought Tolerant (DTV) and Drought Susceptible (DSV) varieties of mung bean under Organic Amendment at the rate of 3 t ha^-1 (OA), resource conservation measure (in-situ Conservation Furrow for every three rows of the crop) as RCM, the combination RCM + OA under normal and deficit rainfall conditions. An innovative field root architectural sampling was followed to extract roots from different soil depths with minimal root losses. RCM increased the rooting depth by 5 cm while OA increased root length density (RLD). Together these measures improved root plasticity as early increased root length, high RLD at deeper soil depths (≥ 0.5 cm cm^− 3), and fine roots of &lt; 1.08 mm diameter in the drought-tolerant mung bean cultivar. The estimated potential carbon additions of mung bean root to soil is 7.1–16.3 kg ha^− 1 for a single crop. Integration of both application of organic amendment and in-situ conservation furrow for every three mung bean rows to drought tolerant mung bean cultivar resulted in increased rooting depth (RD), RLD and more absorptive roots mitigated moisture stress through root adaptation under Semi-Arid Tropic (SAT) rainfed ecosystems.

As a result of the successive population increase, many farmers resort to excessive use of chemical plant growth enhancers to increase the crop's productivity, which causes many health and environmental problems and reduces the sustainability of the soil. Microbial phytohormones and vitamins are safe, eco-friendly, and effective natural solutions to increase the crop's productivity and maintain the soil health at the same time. To our knowledge, until know there is no information about the roles of microbial gibberellic acid (GA₃), and vitamins on the growth and quality traits of onions. Two field experiments were conducted during two consecutive winter seasons in a sandy calcareous soil farm. Two treatments were in the main plot (without and with microbial GA₃), and six were in the sub-plot (control, chemical thiamine, ascorbic acid, riboflavin, and microbial ascorbic acid and riboflavin). Plant growth parameters including plant height, fresh weight, leaf number, bulb diameter, and neck diameter were recorded. Onion yield and their quality traits of sugar content, protein, antioxidants, vitamin C, phenols, flavonoids, and NPK were measured. The major findings revealed that plants treated with applications of microbial GA₃ or vitamin treatments significantly improved the onion yield, phenotypic, physiological, and biochemical characteristics in both seasons. In the majority of the measured parameters, the microbial ascorbic acid treatment outperformed the other vitamin treatments. The combination of foliar microbial GA₃ spray and vitamins, especially microbial ascorbic acid, and microbial riboflavin, produced the high onion yield, growth and quality traits of plant height, number of leaves, fresh weights, bulb diameter, sugar content, vitamin C, total antioxidants, total phenols, and flavonoids during both seasons. The application of microbial GA₃ in combination with microbial vitamins as foliar spraying are promising eco-friendly, cheap, plant bio-stimulators that could be used safely in the field, especially under low-fertility soil, for good growth, yield, and high-quality onions.</p>","PeriodicalId":17042,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Soil Science and Plant Nutrition","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":3.9,"publicationDate":"2024-07-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141722194","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Surface electrochemical properties (SEP) of soil have significant influences on soil fertility, aggregate stability, and contaminant migration. However, the impacts of long-term fertilization on SEP of purple soil (Eutric Regosol, FAO soil classification) have received little attention, and the factors affecting SEP also remain unclear. This study examined the effects of long-term fertilization on SEP. A field fertilization trial was established in 1991 with four treatments: no fertilization (CK), chemical fertilizer (NPK), chemical fertilizer plus pig manure (NPKM), and chemical fertilizer plus rice straw (NPKS). Soil SEP (surface potential, <i>φ</i>_<i>0</i><i>;</i> surface charge density, <i>σ</i>_<i>0</i>; surface electric field strength, <i>E</i>; specific surface area, <i>SSA;</i> surface charges number, <i>SCN</i>) and mineralogy properties was determined. Compared with CK, NPK, NPKM, and NPKS significantly increased <i>φ</i>_<i>0</i> by 5.21% to 20.4%, and <i>SSA</i> by 16.5% to 31.6% (<i>P</i> &lt; 0.05). NPKM and NPKS increased <i>σ</i>_<i>0</i> by 8.69% to 17.4%, <i>E</i> by 9.48% to 15.9%, and <i>SCN</i> by 5.21% to 20.4% (<i>P</i> &lt; 0.05). In addition, NPKM and NPKS increases soil organic matter (SOM) and amorphous oxides. Redundancy analysis indicated that SOM, amorphous manganese oxides (Mno), amorphous aluminum oxides (Alo) and amorphous iron oxides (Feo) could explain 80.6%, 5.2%, 3.9% and 2.7% of the variation in SEP, respectively. Therefore, long-term inorganic and organic fertilization primarily affected purple soil SEP by regulating SOM and amorphous oxides (Mno, Alo, and Feo).
