Abstract

Drought is one of the most critical environmental stressors affecting agricultural productivity around the world and it considerably results in yield. Symbiosis interaction between plants and soil micro-organisms are considered to enhance plant tolerance in a/biotic conditions. In this study, the impact of Glomus mosseae, Pseudomonas fluorescens strain 169 and both of them under imposed water stress (flowering and pod filling stages) of mung bean (Vigna radiata (L.) Wilczek) was evaluated in two farm experiments during 2016 and 2017. Eco-physiological parameters have been recorded which showed that drought stress reduced the number of leaves, root colonization and seeds yield of mung bean. Mixed inoculation of G.mosseae and P.fluorescens 169 was more effective in alleviation the harm effects of drought stress. Enzymes assay suggested that co-inoculation of G.mosseae and P.fluorescens 169 was more effective to increase antioxidative defense system like catalase (CAT), glutathione peroxidase (GPX) and glutathione reductase (GR) activities. H2O2 contents were increased by water stress both in cutting irrigation at flowering and pod filling stages. In conclusion, plants inoculated with combination of G.mosseae and P.fluorescens 169 had less oxidative damage over control plants.

Abstract

A field experiment was conducted in the Wielkopolska region at the Gorzyń Research Station, Poland (52.34°N, 15.54°E) in Central Europe. The study was conducted over a 3-year period (2017, 2018, 2019) as a two-factorial design with four replications in the RCBD. The aim of the research was to determine the effect of the cultivar (‘Bolero’, ‘Tytan’) and the inoculation (Nitragina–seeds inoculation, Nitroflora I–seeds inoculation, Nitroflora II–soil inoculation, HiStick® Lupin–seeds inoculation) on plant development, seeds chemical composition and yielding of narrow-leaved lupin. The weather conditions and experimental factors significantly influenced on productivity of narrow-leaved lupin ‘Tytan’. Drought during the growing season reduced seeds and protein yields. After inoculation of HiStck the seeds yield was significantly greater by 12.4% (p < 0.01) and the protein yield after application of Nitroflora I or HiStick by 13.9% (p < 0.01) and 19.2% (p < 0.01), respectively. Correlation coefficients showed strong relations between number of pods and seeds per plant in both cultivars regardless of the inoculation variant, however the strongest relations in both cultivar were proved on HiStick treatment.
