“…Inoculation with mycorrhiza had a significant effect on the dry weight of the middle leaves (Table 4). Probably this is due to an increase in the absorption of macro and micronutrients from the soil as is reported by Amal et al (2014) and Munda et al (2016). Chen et al (2017) report that the net photosynthetic rate and stomatal conductance is increased significantly in plants inoculated with mycorrhiza by 58.76 and 95.65%, respectively.…”

“…Mycorrhizal symbiosis can greatly improve yield when the level of P in the soil is low (Magarey et al 2005), hence we conclude that if pre-sowing application of chemical fertilizers had not occurred in this experiment, it is likely the yield increase would have been higher. The results of Munda et al (2016) indicate that the application of biofertilizers can improve the availability of P for the next crop. However, Hendrix (1993) indicates that the symbiosis between mycorrhiza and tobacco reduces the yield of commercial tobacco and is the cause of a poor growth condition called "tobacco stunt".…”

“…Increasing concentrations of N, P, K and S in the rhizosphere and dry weight of onion bulbs and maize shoots by inoculating these plants with mycorrhizae is reported (Amal et al 2014). Munda et al (2016) report better productivity of soybean when grown in plots treated with biofertilizers and that the microbes also improve P availability for the next crop.…”

To study the effects of mycorrhiza, fulvic acid, seaweed extract and urea on the physiological traits and leaf yield of tobacco, an experiment was carried out in split plots in a randomized complete block design with three replicates at Marivan during 2015. In this study, the main factor was two levels of inoculation with mycorrhiza including: control: no inoculation and inoculation with mycorrhiza (Glomus interaradices) and subplots treated with growth stimulants at 5 kinds: control-distilled water, fulvic acid, seaweed extract, urea, fulvic acid + seaweed extract + urea. The results indicate that the number of leaves and dry weight of the middle leaves of plants inoculated with mycorrhiza were increased significantly. In addition, the foliar application of growth stimulants significantly affected the relative water content, fresh and dry weight of the lower and middle leaves and also the greenness and fresh weight of the upper leaves of tobacco.

“…K can also be attributed to the same effects of organic residue addition as Av. N. Formation of organic acids during microbial decomposition of SOM may solubilize native soil P, especially when P‐solubilizing microbes are applied ( Munda et al, , ), and thus increase Av. P. Increased Av.…”

Conventional agricultural practices that use excessive chemical fertilizers and pesticides come at a great price with respect to soil health, a key component to achieve agricultural sustainability. Organic farming could serve as an alternative agricultural system and solve the problems associated with the usage of agro‐chemicals by sustainable use of soil resources. A study was carried out to evaluate the impact of organic vs. conventional cultivations of basmati rice on soil health during Kharif (rainy) season of 2011 at Kaithal district of Haryana, India, under farmers' participatory mode. Long‐term application of organic residues in certified organic farms was found to improve physical, chemical, and biological indicators of soil health. Greater organic matter buildup as indicated by higher soil organic carbon content in organic fields was critical to increase soil aggregate stability by increasing water holding capacity and reducing bulk density. Proper supplementation of nutrients (both major and micro nutrients) through organic residue addition favored biologically available nutrients in organic systems. Further, the prevalence of organic substrates stimulated soil microorganisms to produce enzymes responsible for the conversion of unavailable nutrients to plant available forms. Most importantly, a closer look at the relationship between physicochemical and biological indicators of soil health evidenced the significance of organic matter to enzyme activities suggesting enhanced nutrient cycling in systems receiving organic amendments. Enzyme activities were very sensitive to short‐term (one growing season) effects of organic vs. conventional nutrient management. Soil chemical indicators (organic matter and nutrient contents) were also changed in the short‐term, but the response was secondary to the biochemical indicators. Taken together, this study indicates that organic farming practices foster biotic and abiotic interactions in the soil which may facilitate in moving towards a sustainable food future.

“…Improvement of root architecture may increase the rhizosphere microbial communities (Hao et al, 2008;Trabelsi, et al, 2017), release more organic acid and increase the utilization of P sources with sustainability (Haynes, 1982;Feng et al, 2016;Mundaa, et al, 2016), changing some of chemical, biological and physical properties in the rhizosphere (Walker et al, 2003;Shen et al, 2013;Maji, et al, 2017) and Shoot P uptake, rhizosphere properties and growth plants (Marschner et al, 2007). Zhu and Lynch (2004) resulted that sustained lateral rooting encourages maize seedling growth under P-limiting conditions.…”

Roots are the main plant organs that supply nutrients, water, hormones and physical support for the plant. Phosphorus is one of the most limiting and important elements in root growth and crop production. The aims of this study was to investigate the effects of different sources of phosphorus treatments on root growth (root length, diameter and dry matter) of Barley. The two glasshouse pot experiments results showed that under P deficiency, the weight of dry root significantly decreased and the total root length of whole plant significantly increased with decrease of root diameter. Our results suggested that soil fertility and root structure are widely recognized as important role of the soil community and plant growth, the root structure and root extension can directly and indirectly affected by soil fertility and specially P nutrient of the soil. Accordingly, root characteristics can determine the circumstance of plant growth and crop production.
