Effects of arbuscular mycorrhizal inoculation and crop sequence on root associated microbiome, crop productivity and nutrient uptake

In order to have sustainable crop production, intensifying the supports of increasing world population and maintaining its environment are equivalently important. This study investigated the strategies of arbuscular mycorrhiza management based on using arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) inoculant, mycorrhizal host plants (lentil (Lens culinaris), pea (Pisum sativum)), and the non-mycorrhizal canola (Brassica napus) in crop rotation systems affecting plant nutrient uptake, yield and root associated microbiomes. We applied five arbuscular mycorrhiza management strategies under three fertilization levels to reveal the underlying relationships between integrated agronomic data, soil nutrients, and root associated microbiomes.
