Abstract
Sustainable horticultural production will increasingly have to rely on economically feasible and environmentally sound solutions to problems associated with high levels of bicarbonate (HCO - 3 ) and associated high pH in irrigation water. The ability of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF; Glomus ZAC-19) to enhance plant tolerance to HCO 3 - was tested on the growth, physiology and nutrient uptake of Rosamultiflora Thunb. ex J. Murr. cv. Burr (rose). Arbuscular mycorrhizal colonized and noninoculated (non-AMF) plants were treated with 0, 2.5, 5, and 10 m m HCO - 3 . Increasing HCO - 3 concentration and associated high pH and electrical conductivity (EC) reduced plant growth, leaf elemental uptake and acid phosphatase activity (ACP), while increasing alkaline phosphatase activity (ALP). Inoculation with AMF enhanced plant tolerance to HCO - 3 as indicated by greater plant growth, leaf elemental uptake (N, P, K, Ca, Fe, Zn, Al, Bo), leaf chlorophyll content, higher mycorrhizal inoculation effect (MIE), lower root iron reductase activity, and generally lower wall-bound ACP (at 2.5 m m HCO 3 - ), and higher soluble ALP (at 10 m m HCO 3 - ). While AMF colonization (arbuscules, vesicles, and hyphae formation) was reduced by increasing HCO - 3 concentration, colonization still occurred at high HCO - 3 . At 2.5 m m HCO 3 - , AMF plant growth was comparable to plants at 0 m m HCO 3 - , further indicating the beneficial effect of AMF for alleviation of HCO 3 - stress.
