Abstract:

‘Chiyu126’ and ‘Jinyan No.4’ were used as hosts to explore the effects of Glomus mosseae on the growth and nitrogen and phosphorus uptake of the cucumber seedlings. A pot experiment was conducted, and the hosts were inoculated with G. mosseae individually at the stage of nursery. Five weeks later, the main growth parameters and nitrogen and phosphorus concentration in shoots were determined. The results showed that compared with the control, the dry weight of shoots and roots increased by 45.5% and 30.6%, respectively, for ‘Chiyu126’ inoculated with G. mosseae, however, the root growth of ‘Jinyan No.4’ was significantly inhibited by inoculating with G. mosseae and the root and total biomass were significantly lower than those of its corresponding control; moreover, for ‘Chiyu126’, the total nitrogen and phosphorus were significantly improved by G. mosseae, and the total nitrogen and phosphorus concentration in shoots were 1.29 times and 1.39 times as much as those of the control, respectively, meanwhile, for ‘Jinyan No.4’ inoculated with G. mosseae, the total nitrogen concentration in shoots was significantly lower than that of its corresponding control, and the phosphorus concentration was not affected by G. mosseae. The growth and nitrogen and phosphorus uptake of ‘Chiyu126’ are improved by G. mosseae, and it is an ideal symbiotic combination between ‘Chiyu126’ and G. mosseae.

Key words: Glomus mosseae, ‘Chiyu 126’, ‘Jinyan No.4’, growth, nitrogen and phosphorus uptake
