Abstract

Aims our study quantified the combined effects of fertilization and inoculation with arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (amF) on grain yield and allocation of biomass and nutrients in field-grown rice (Oryza sativa l.). Methods a two-factor experiment was conducted at a field site in northeast of China (in shuangcheng, Heilongjiang Province, songhua river basin): six nitrogen–phosphorus–potassium fertilizer levels were provided (0, 20, 40, 60, 80 and 100% of the local norm of fertilizer supply), with or without inoculation with Glomus mosseae. at maturity, we quantified the percentage of root length colonization by amF, grain yield, shoot:root ratios, shoot N and P contents and nutrients allocated to panicles, leaves and stems. Important Findings as expected, inoculation resulted in greatly increased amF colonization, which in turn led to higher shoot:root ratios and greater shoot N contents. shoot:root ratios of inoculated rice increased with increasing fertilization while there was a significant interaction between fertilization and inoculation on shoot:root ratio. additionally, amF inoculation increased panicle:shoot ratios, panicle N:shoot N ratios and panicle P:shoot P ratios, especially in plants grown at low fertilizer levels. Importantly, inoculated rice exhibited higher grain yield, with the maximum improvement (near 62%) at the lower fertilizer end. our results showed that (i) amFinoculated plants conform to the functional equilibrium theory, albeit to a reduced extent compared to non-inoculated plants and (ii) amF inoculation resulted in greater allocation of shoot biomass to panicles and increased grain yield by stimulating N and P redistribution to panicles.
