Effect of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi and PGPR on heavy metal uptake by Ladys finger grown on sewage sludge amended soil
A pot experiment was conducted to determine the effect of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) and a plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) on the uptake of heavy metals by ladys fingers grown on soil amended with sewage sludge. Ladys finger seedlings were grown in soil amended with 5% (w/w) sewage sludge. Glomus mosseae and Bacillus sphaericus UPME10 were inoculated individually or in combination to the respective pots. Plants inoculated with both mycorrhiza and bacteria had signifi-cantly higher shoot, root and fruit yields compared to the non- inoculated plants. Plants uptake of N and P was subsequently in-creased with microbial inoculation. In general, the uptake of heavy metals (Cd, Pb, Cu and Zn) was higher in the plant shoots and roots than in the fruits. Microbial inoculation had no significant effect on heavy metals uptake except for Zn Highest Zn content was observed in the fruits of plants inoculated with both AMF and PGPR. High mycorrhizal root infection was observed in plants inoculated with MF individually or in combination with UPMB10.
