Disentangling the Association of Corn Root Mycobiome With Plant Productivity and the Importance of Soil Physicochemical Balance in Shaping Their Relationship

Abstract: Soil bacteria and fungi are integral parts of healthy ecosystem functioning in production agriculture. The effects of fungal abundance and diversity on crop productivity is poorly understood. We sampled 10 corn farms at the V10 growth stage across southwestern Ontario, Canada, using aerial infrared imaging to identify zones of low and high productive corn plants. Roots and soils were sampled from low and high yield zones and soil physical and chemical properties were measured in conjunction with assessment of … Show more

“…Another key research area involved understanding the soil-plant-microbe dynamics, that evolves because of interactions between specific plant phenological stage linked with specific nutrient applied and the particular microbial community that results (Pathan et al, 2020). Enhancement of plant growth using microbial consortia as biostimulants or biofertilizers (Amirnia et al, 2019;Avio et al, 2018;Castiglione et al, 2021;Kandasamy et al, 2021;Rouphael & Colla, 2018) and replacing the use of pesticides with natural pest control agents such as root arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (Deng et al, 2021), are key to improving productivity without compromising the soil biodiversity, have been investigated in detail. Addressing the concern of soil loss in hilly terrains with the adoption of erosion control measures such as bench terracing for growing crops, highlight the research focus with specific agro-ecological zones in mind (Rutebuka et al, 2021).…”

“…A structural and chemical composition of the residues leads to a low rate natural decomposition of the aboveground and underground parts of plants. The F. graminearum, F. moniliforme, presented on the plant residues and the residues of corn roots in the soil, indicates a dangerous infectious potential for subsequent cereal crops in the crop rotation [3,4]. If the fungi F. solani or F. heterosporum are detected, then this is practically not dangerous for subsequent field crops.…”
