Abstract: (26 Views)
The effect of mycorrhizal fungi application and different levels of zeolite on the concentration of macro- and microelements in the grain and root of irrigated wheat (Chamran 2 cultivar) was investigated. A factorial experiment in a completely randomized block design with three replications was conducted in Khorramabad during the two cropping seasons of 2022 and 2023. The studied factors included mycorrhizal fungi at 4 levels (control, Glomus mosseae, Glomus intraradices, and Glomus mosseae + Glomus intraradices) and zeolite application (0, 6, 9, and 12 ton h⁻¹). The results showed that the simultaneous use of mycorrhizal fungi and zeolite at high levels increased the concentration of nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, copper, and manganese in the grain, and phosphorus, potassium, and iron in the root. The highest concentration of root nitrogen (1.5%), grain iron (170.8 mg kg⁻¹), and root zinc (53.9 mg kg⁻¹) was observed in the treatment inoculated with Glomus mosseae + Glomus intraradices and 12 tons per hectare of zeolite. Zeolite fertilizer reduced the activity of catalase, peroxidase, and superoxide dismutase enzymes. Based on the results of the mean comparison of the year × mycorrhiza × zeolite interaction, the treatment inoculated with Glomus mosseae + Glomus intraradices and 12 tons h-1 of zeolite in the second year with an average of 67.8 mg kg-1, and the treatment inoculated with Glomus intraradices and 12 tons h-1 per hectare of zeolite in the second year with an average of 58.5 mg kg-1, respectively, had the highest concentrations of zinc in the grain and copper in the root. In general, it can be concluded that the use of Glomus mosseae + Glomus intraradices fungi along with soil amendment (zeolite) in Chamran wheat fields can improve the concentration of elements in the wheat grain and root and play an important role in sustainable plant production.
