“…Similarly, Fayuan Wang et al (2018) reported that ZnO-NPs inhibited the activities of urease, phosphatase, and catalase, whereas Kim et al (2011) observed that ZnO-NPs inhibited the activities of soil enzymes in pot research. By measuring the number of microorganisms in the soil after it was inoculated with arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi, it was observed that the activities of most soil enzymes increased (Qin et al, 2020). Similarly, Naseby et al (2010) found that after inoculating pea soil with Trichoderma, the activities of soil acid phosphatase and urease increased.…”

Apple replant disease (ARD) is a common disease in apple producing areas, and more and more evidence shows that soil-borne pathogens are the main factor. However, most of the drugs used to kill microorganisms are not friendly to the environment. Therefore, there is an urgent need to identify a method that can effectively eliminate these harmful microorganisms and to construct a microbial community structure that is conducive to plant growth in the soil. Herein, we use four different application technologies: foliar spraying, foliar soaking, root soaking, and soil soaking, to examine the inhibitory effect of zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO-NPs) on ARD. This study found that they all promoted the growth of Malus hupehensis Rehd. seedlings, and the plant height was 1.09 times, 1.15 times, 1.26 times, and 1.36 times higher that of the control, respectively. Soil soaking had the best promotion effect, and the changes in the soil microbial community structure after root soaking were analyzed. After treatment with ZnO-NPs, the abundances of Neocosmospora, Gibberella, and Fusarium were reduced, whereas the abundances of Tausonia, Chaetomium, and Mrakia were increased. The copy numbers of Fusarium solani and Fusarium oxysporum were 55.7 and 68.9% lower in the ZnO-NPs treatment group than those in the control group, respectively. This study found that after ZnO-NPs were applied to the soil, a new microbial community structure that was conducive to plant growth was formed to overcome ARD. In summary, ZnO-NPs, as a green chemical reagent, can overcome ARD, and it can also be applied to other continuous crops.

“…AMF ( Glomus hoi and G. intraradices ) degrade various types of organic N residues, proteins, and peptides into amino acid and translocate them from the extraradical mycelium to host plant [ 35 ]. In addition, an increase in soil enzyme activity highlight the influence of bio-organic fertilizer [ 36 ] related to AMF [ 37 ]. Moreover, organic plant manure was indicated to have higher induced soil enzyme activity rather than animal manure [ 38 ], while the enzyme activity in the organic chicken manure (i.e., O_LT) may be higher than in the plant plus cattle compost (i.e., O_UMJ), resulting in released N in plant–AMF symbiosis, ( Figure 6 ).…”

In the present study, Funneliformis mosseae (FM), Claroideoglomus etunicatum (CE), and Acaulospora foveata (AF) were inoculated to hybrid maize (Zea mays L. cv. CP888®). Upregulation of nitrogen levels were dependent on the type of mycorrhiza (AMF). Photosynthetic efficiency (Fv/Fm) and water content in FM- and AF-inoculated plants were elevated, resulting in promotion of leaf area and shoot biomass. N content in the shoot and root tissues of the FM-inoculated plants increased by 21% and 30% over the control. A positive correlation between biochemical, physiological, and morphological parameters using Pearson’s coefficient was demonstrated. A decline in lipid peroxidation was noticed in the FM-inoculated plants. In addition, we investigated the potential of N fertilizer application in combination with FM inoculation in maize plants. The FM-inoculated plants with organic O_LT, a chicken manure fertilizer, increased N content in the host shoots by 73% over the control, leading to improved Fv/Fm as a physiological adaptation strategy. The FM and the O_LT on the regulation of the N enhancement and photosynthetic efficiency of the hybrid maize should further be validated in field trials in different environments for sustainability.

“…Similar findings were also noticed by Li and Cai (2021) AMF inoculation improved soil microbial biomass. Qin et al (2020) indicate that AMF can enhance the release of soil nutrients required for plant growth in response to increased soil enzyme activity.…”

Drought is a major abiotic factor limiting plant growth and crop production. There is limited information on effect of interaction between biochar and Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) on okra growth, root morphological traits and soil enzyme activities under drought stress. We studied the influence of biochar and AMF on the growth of Okra ( Abelmoschus esculentus ) in pot experiments in a net house under drought condition. The results showed that the biochar treatment significantly increased plant growth (the plant height by 14.2%, root dry weight by 30.0%) and root morphological traits (projected area by 22.3% and root diameter by 22.7%) under drought stress. In drought stress, biochar treatment significantly enhanced the chlorophyll ‘a’ content by 32.7%, the AMF spore number by 22.8% and the microbial biomass as compared to the control. Plant growth parameters such as plant height, shoot and root dry weights significantly increased by AMF alone, by 16.6%, 21.0% and 40.0% respectively under drought condition. Other plant biometrics viz: the total root length, the root volume, the projected area and root diameter improved significantly with the application of AMF alone by 38.3%, 60.0%,16.8% and 15.9% respectively as compared with control. Compared to the control, AMF treatment alone significantly enhanced the total chlorophyll content by 36.6%, the AMF spore number by 39.0% and the microbial biomass by 29.0% under drought condition. However, the highest values of plant growth parameters (plant height, shoot dry weight, root dry weight) and root morphological traits (the total root length, root volume, projected area, root surface area) were observed in the combined treatment of biochar and AMF treatment viz: 31.9%, 34.2%, 60.0% and 68.6%, 66.6%, 45.5%, 41.8%, respectively compared to the control under drought stress. The nitrogen content, total chlorophyll content and microbial biomass increased over un-inoculated control. The soil enzymes; alkaline phosphatase, dehydrogenase and fluorescein diacetate enzyme activities significantly increased in the combined treatment by 55.8%, 68.7% and 69.5%, respectively as compared to the control under drought stress. We conclude that biochar and AMF together is potentially beneficial for cultivation of okra in drought stress conditions.
