- Association Mycorrhizal infection of alfalfa was enhanced after MR inoculation with native AMF and rhizobium.
- Association Green compost application significantly decreased mycorrhizal infection of alfalfa.
- Intervention effect Salinity reduced growth, physiological functioning and protein concentration of alfalfa compared with non-saline conditions.
- Intervention effect Salinity activated the antioxidant system of alfalfa compared with non-saline conditions.
- Intervention effect The tri-combination CMR mitigated the negative effects of high salinity on alfalfa.
- Intervention effect The tri-combination CMR stimulated alfalfa plant growth, root and nodule dry matter under high salinity.
- Intervention effect The tri-combination CMR stimulated mineral uptake (P, N and K) of alfalfa under high salinity.
- Intervention effect The tri-combination CMR stimulated the antioxidant system, compatible solute synthesis and soil glomalin content under high salinity.
- Intervention effect The tri-combination CMR sustained photosynthesis-related performance of alfalfa under high salinity.
- Intervention effect The tri-combination CMR decreased Na+ and Cl− accumulation in alfalfa under high salinity.
- Intervention effect The tri-combination CMR decreased lipid peroxidation, H2O2 content and electrolyte leakage in alfalfa under high salinity.
