- Abstract:
- We conducted a field- and pot experiment with peas to investigate the impact of soil tillage and herbicide applications on arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF), plant growth, phosphorus concentrations, C:N ratio in plants and yield. The field study was carried out in a long-term soil tillage experiment where four tillage treatments have been compared. Field soil from the experimental plots were used for the pot experiment. AMF were not affected by herbicide (MCPB) application, neither in the field nor in the pot experiments. However, AMF root colonization was enhanced by reduced tillage, minimum tillage and no-tillage practices, compared to conventional tillage. In the pot experiment, plant growth and nodulation of pea roots was negatively affected by the high herbicide dosage. In the field experiment neither tillage nor herbicide treatment exert specific effects on root growth parameters, phosphorus concentrations, C:N ratio and plant dry matter. This work demonstrates that an appropriate herbicide usage coupled with conservation soil tillage techniques can favour AMF root colonization and benefit plant growth.
