Arbuscular Mycorrhizal [AM] fungi Arbuscule
(L. “small tree”)
Mycorrhiza (Gr. “fungus root”)

Other benefits
To the plant: Enhanced water relations Enhanced pest resistance Enhanced salt stress resistance
To the soil: Stability of soil aggregates (glomalin)
![Page 14: Berks co cons district 2 26 2015](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051516/55a6b5a21a28ab062c8b474d/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
How can we take advantage of the AM symbiosis in agriculture?
1. Manage the AM fungi indigenous to the soil (row crop farms)
2. Inoculate with effective isolates (horticulture crops, vegetable farms, labor intensive farms)
![Page 15: Berks co cons district 2 26 2015](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051516/55a6b5a21a28ab062c8b474d/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
I. Farm management practices that influence indigenous AM fungi
Fertilization Pesticide application Over wintering cover crops Crop rotation Tillage Farming System
Cooperative research with The Rodale Institute
![Page 16: Berks co cons district 2 26 2015](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051516/55a6b5a21a28ab062c8b474d/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
1. Fertilization: effect of high nutrient addition upon the fungus (colonization and sporulation)
![Page 17: Berks co cons district 2 26 2015](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051516/55a6b5a21a28ab062c8b474d/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)

2. Pesticide application
Fungicides- direct negative effects upon AM fungi, e.g. Benomyl
Herbicides- indirect effect via removal of potential host plants Diversity of AM fungus community parallels
diversity of the plant community Less carbon available for growth/reproduction
![Page 19: Berks co cons district 2 26 2015](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051516/55a6b5a21a28ab062c8b474d/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
3. Over wintering cover crops Used for:
Erosion control Nutrient management Organic matter Weed management
Fringe benefit: Build populations of AM
fungi Function as a ‘mini’
crop rotation
![Page 20: Berks co cons district 2 26 2015](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051516/55a6b5a21a28ab062c8b474d/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Over wintering crop of hairy vetch increased the AM fungus inoculum present in the soil
![Page 21: Berks co cons district 2 26 2015](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051516/55a6b5a21a28ab062c8b474d/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Other situations related to bare soil Flooded soil syndrome Stale weed seed bank treatments Long term bare fallow
![Page 22: Berks co cons district 2 26 2015](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051516/55a6b5a21a28ab062c8b474d/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
4. Crop rotation Some AM fungi are more
prolific when grown with a particular host plant
The AM fungi most prevalent after growth of one crop may not be the ones most beneficial to that crop
AM fungi may play a role in yield decline characteristic of continuous monoculture
Implications for a big switch to continuous corn for ethanol production?
![Page 23: Berks co cons district 2 26 2015](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051516/55a6b5a21a28ab062c8b474d/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
5. Tillage Tillage interferes with
two functions of the extraradical mycelium of AM fungi:
1. As infective propagules
2. As the nutrient uptake organ
![Page 24: Berks co cons district 2 26 2015](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051516/55a6b5a21a28ab062c8b474d/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
6. Farming system The Farming Systems Trial®
![Page 25: Berks co cons district 2 26 2015](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051516/55a6b5a21a28ab062c8b474d/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Soils from the organic rotations have a higher AM fungus inoculum potential
![Page 26: Berks co cons district 2 26 2015](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051516/55a6b5a21a28ab062c8b474d/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
… and greater spore populations
![Page 27: Berks co cons district 2 26 2015](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051516/55a6b5a21a28ab062c8b474d/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Largely due to the over wintering cover crops, the organic farming systems have live plant cover 70% of the year vs. 40% for the conventional farming system.
![Page 28: Berks co cons district 2 26 2015](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051516/55a6b5a21a28ab062c8b474d/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
II. Inoculation with AM fungi
Options:a. commercially available inoculab. produce it yourself
Target farmers:vegetable producers who grow their own seedlings
labor intensive farms

Modifications to on-farm inoculum production system
Propagate indigenous isolates of AM fungi Add field soil to compost+ vermiculite mix Pre-inoculate bahiagrass with field soil
Use of alternate “inert” diluents Horticultural potting media Perlite

Is this inoculum effective?
![Page 36: Berks co cons district 2 26 2015](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051516/55a6b5a21a28ab062c8b474d/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Considerations for inoculum utilization Factors influencing response to
inoculation: Responsiveness of the plant Soil available P level (> 50ppm) Vigor/ health of the indigenous population of
AM fungi
The goal is to outplant a seedling with a functioning symbiosis already in place
