Influence of Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungus in the Development of Salicornia in Saline Water

Abstract

The objective of this work was to evaluate the effect of the inoculation of the arbuscular mycorrhizal fungus (AMF) Claroideoglomus etunicatum on the development of Salicornia ramosissima subjected to five treatments: water, desalinator reject, reject plus one dose (7 g) of NaCl, reject plus two doses of NaCl and reject plus three doses of NaCl. The experiment was conducted under greenhouse conditions at the Agronomic Institute of Pernambuco - IPA, in a completely randomized design, with autoclaved and non-autoclaved soil, with three replications. A dose corresponding to 1.0 mL ̸ kg of Hoagland & Arnon complete nutrient solution soil was added to each well and watered daily with the corresponding treatments. In the conduction of the experiment, polyethylene vessels with 8 kg of saline soil were used. The results showed that the reject with the intermediate doses (Reject + 1NaCl and Reject + 2NaCl) was more significant for the growth (17.16 cm and 17.37 cm respectively) of Salicornia ramosissima.

Use of the Moringa oleifera Seeds Fixed-bed Model and Pernambuco Semi-arid Desalinator Reject

“…Based on this assumption, one of the avenues for access to clean water has been the use of desalination systems in which brackish water is converted to "fresh water" [4,5]. Although great results have already been achieved, water treatment by desalination is costly, mainly due to the type of filter used in this sort of equipment.…”
