Abstract:

This study aimed to elucidate the growth-promoting effects of Ammonia oxidizing bacteria (AOB) strains on Italian ryegrass (Lolium multiflorum Lam.). Pot-grown Italian ryegrass was used as the experimental material, four treatments were established: no nitrification inhibitor and no inoculation, inoculation with AOB strains after regeneration, regeneration after adding a nitrification inhibitor, and inoculation with AOB strains after adding a nitrification inhibitor. The results showed that, compared to the non-inhibited and non-inoculated regeneration, Italian ryegrass inoculated with AOB strains exhibited an increase of 23.53% to 48.63% in leaf biomass, 27.91% to 48.54% in net photosynthetic rate, and 43.01% to 144.21% in rhizosphere soil nitrification rate. The addition of a nitrification inhibitor in the soil suppressed the growth promotion of Italian ryegrass. However, after inoculating with the S2_8_1 strain, the growth-promoting effects were superior to those of adding a nitrification inhibitor. In conclusion, the inoculation of S2_8_1 enhanced the nitrification process in Italian ryegrass rhizosphere, stimulated the increase of NO3- content, and strengthened photosynthesis, and ultimately promoted the growth-promoting effect of Italian ryegrass.
