Abstract
This study focused on the mitigation of the negative impact of salinity stress over time on the growth and development of Phoenix dactylifera plants using compost and/or arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF). The experiment had eight treatments in a randomized design. The treatments consisted of a control, AMF (native consortium) and compost (produced from green waste). The treatments were applied separately or in combination in the presence of 240 mM NaCl (saline condition) or 0 mM NaCl (non-saline condition) after 10 and 14 months of cultivation. Our results show that saline stress increased toxic ion (sodium and chlorine), proline, soluble sugars and stress marker (H2O2 and MDA) contents. At the same time, it lowered growth traits, mycorrhizal colonization, leaf water potential and nutrients (nitrogen (N), potassium (K), phosphorus (P), calcium (Ca)) and photosynthetic pigment concentrations. The application of compost and AMF individually or in combination alleviated salt-induced effects through mechanisms such as an increase in nutrient absorption (P, N, K and Ca), photosynthetic pigment content, relative water content, stomatal opening, leaf water potential, photosystem II efficiency, organic osmolyte content (proline and soluble sugars) and antioxidant enzyme activities (SOD, APX, CAT and POD) and reduction in lipid peroxidation and H2O2 content. Our results also show that the tolerance strategies of date palm to salinity were progressively improved over time in treated plants and especially in date palms grown in the presence of the two biofertilizers. Between 10 and 14 months of cultivation, growth parameters increased with a significant improvement in nutrient contents, a reduction in the concentrations of toxic ions and stress markers, and regulation of the antioxidant system (antioxidant enzyme activity and osmolyte content) in both leaves and roots. In conclusion, this investigation highlights the effectiveness of dual application of compost and native AMF in mitigating the deleterious effects of salinity on date palm with an improvement in the tolerance over time.
