          Abstract

          ABSTRACT The soil is influenced by the roots of plants because the exudate radicals affect its physical, chemical, and biological processes. The aim of this research was to evaluate the microbial activity of soils cultivated with yacón (Smallanthus sonchifolius Poep. & Endl) H. Robinson and inoculated with microorganisms which promote plant growth. The experimental design used was randomized blocks with three repetitions per treatment. Each repetition corresponded to a 3m x 3m plot with 25 plants, in 5 cultivation lines with a distance of 70 cm apart. Four treatments were applied at the time of plantation. These consisted of yacón propagules inoculated with Azospirillum brasilense (T1) and native mycorrhizal fungi (T2) inoculated with the microbial consortium (T3). In the control treatments, the propagules were not inoculated with these microorganisms (T0). Soil samples were collected in lots cultivated with yacón located in the Province of Catamarca, in the northwest of Argentina. The samples were collected at the time of implantation and harvest during three agricultural cycles. The total Biological Activity (TBA) of the collected samples was determined by Fluorescein Diacetate Hydrolysis. The TBA of the soil was affected by the different crop treatments, which rose in the analyzed soils and was statistically different from the control treatments. Significant differences were also observed between the TBA of the soils at the beginning of the crops in comparison with the recorded values of the crop at the time of harvest. The inoculation of yacón propagules with A. brasilense and native mycorrhizal fungi affects the TBA of the cultivated soils marking a significant increase.

          RESUMEN El suelo está influenciado por las raíces de las plantas, ya que los exudados radicales afectan los procesos físicos, químicos y biológicos del suelo. El objetivo de la investigación fue evaluar la actividad microbiana en suelos donde se ha cultivado yacón (Smallanthus sonchifolius), inoculado con microorganismos promotores del crecimiento de las plantas. El diseño experimental empleado fue bloques al azar con tres repeticiones por tratamiento. Cada repetición correspondió a una parcela de 3 m x 3m con 25 plantas, en 5 líneas de cultivo distanciadas a 70 cm. Se aplicaron cuatro tratamientos en el momento de la plantación y consistieron en la inoculación de propágulos de yacón con Azospirillum brasilense (T1), hongos micorrícicos nativos (T2), con el consorcio microbiano (T3) y en los tratamientos testigos los propágulos sin inocular con estos microorganismos (T0). Muestras de suelo fueron colectadas en lotes cultivados con yacón situados en la Provincia de Catamarca, al noroeste de Argentina, al momento de implantación y de cosecha durante tres ciclos agrícolas. Se determinó la Actividad Biológica Total (ABT) por Hidrólisis del Diacetato de Fluoresceína a las muestras colectadas. La ABT del suelo fue afectada por los diferentes tratamientos del cultivo, la cual se elevó en los suelos estudiados, difiriendo estadísticamente con los testigos. También se observaron diferencias significativas entre la ABT de los suelos al inicio de los cultivos con los valores registrados a la cosecha de este. La inoculación de propágulos de yacón con A. brasilense y hongos micorrícicos nativos afecta la ABT de los suelos cultivados, aumentando significativamente.

          A new method which gives an objective measure of colonization of roots by vesicular-arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi

          Previously described methods to quantify the proportion of root length colonized by vesicular-arbuscular (VA) mycorrhizal fungi are reviewed. It is argued that these methods give observer-dependent measures of colonization which cannot be used to compare, quantitatively, roots examined by different researchers. A modified method is described here to estimate VA mycorrhizal colonization on an objective scale of measurement, involving inspection of intersections between the microscope eyepiece crosshair and roots at magnification × 200; it is referred to as the magnified intersections method. Whether the vertical eyepiece crosshair crosses one or more arbuscules is noted at each intersection. The estimate of colonization is the proportion of root length containing arbuscules, called the arbuscular colonization (AC). The magnified intersections method also determines the proportion of root length containing vesicles, the vesicular colonization (VC), and the proportion of root length containing hyphae, the hyphal colonization (HC). However, VC and HC should be interpreted with caution because vesicles and hyphae, unlike arbuscules, can be produced in roots by non-mycorrhizal fungi.
