Abstract
Field trials of arbuscular mycorrhizal(AM) fungi as a biological fertilizer applied on watermelon, cucumber, taro, bean, peanut, sweet potato, and corn were carried out. Results showed that the yields of tested crops colonized by AM fungi were increased by 0～66% compared to controls. The total efficiency rate of increasing yields and economic benefits were 95.5% and 68.2% respectively, for all tested crops, one hundred percentage for watermelon, cucumber, taro and bean. The input/output ratios for watermelon, cucumber, taro and bean were 1 ∶ 4.8～6.7, 1 ∶ 4.4, 1 ∶ 5～6.1 and 1 ∶ 2.8～3.4 respectively. The yield of mycorrhizal watermelon plants in replant plots after 3-year rotation was 2.7 times greater than that of control. Although yields of peanut and corn were increased by the biological fertilizer, their pure income were negative. GS preparation enhanced the yield of sweet potato, its input/output ratio was only 1∶2.3; while GV9 preparation did not. So the efficiency of AM fungal fertilizer was varied with crops. It was concluded that efficient AM fungi could increase economic benefits of horticultural crops and play a role in protecting ecological environments.
