ABSTRACT

Understanding the interactions of plant soil environment and rhizosphere microbial changes are necessary to develop new strategies for the sustainable agriculture. A field experiment with combination of three water levels and three nitrogen rates was conducted to investigate the effect of water and nitrogen management on the changes of soil microbial properties in non-rhizosphere and rhizosphere soils of spinach. Non-Rhizosphere and rhizosphere microbial diversities were affected by water and nitrogen applications. Evenness index in the no-nitrogen treatment was more than that of 85 and 170 kg ha-1 nitrogen treatments in the non-rhizosphere or rhizosphere soil. Microbial biomass carbon in non-rhizosphere soil or rhizosphere soil decreased with the increase of nitrogen application, but showed the highest value in 16.5% of soil water content, followed by 12.5% and 20.5% of soil water content. Soil microbial biomass phosphorus content of 85 kg ha-1 nitrogen treatment in the non-rhizosphere soil or rhizosphere soil was significantly different for 0 and 170 kg ha-1 nitrogen treatments. Nitrification rate increased with the increase of soil water content in 0 and 170 kg ha-1 treatments. Our results demonstrated that water and nitrogen could impact the soil fertility and microbial activity of spinach.

ABSTRAK

Memahami interaksi perubahan tanah tanaman alam sekitar dan rizosfera mikrob adalah perlu untuk membangunkan strategi baru untuk sektor pertanian yang mampan. Kajian lapangan dengan kombinasi tiga paras air dan tiga kadar nitrogen dijalankan untuk mengkaji kesan pengurusan air dan nitrogen terhadap perubahan sifat mikrob tanah dalam tanih bukan rizosfera dan rizosfera bayam. Kepelbagaian mikrob bukan rizosfera dan rizosfera terjejas oleh aplikasi air dan nitrogen. Indeks kesamaan dalam rawatan tanpa nitrogen adalah lebih 85 dan 170 kg ha-1 daripada rawatan nitrogen dalam tanah- rizosfera atau rizosfera. Karbon biojisim mikrob dalam tanah bukan rizosfera atau rizosfera menurun dengan peningkatan aplikasi nitrogen, tetapi menunjukkan nilai tertinggi pada 16.5% daripada kandungan air dalam tanah, diikuti 12.5% dan 20.5% kandungan air dalam tanah. Kandungan tanah fosforus biojisim mikrob sebanyak 85 kg ha-1 rawatan nitrogen dalam tanah bukan rizosfera atau rizosfera tanah adalah berbeza bagi untuk 0 dan 170 kg ha-1 rawatan nitrogen. Kadar nitrifikasi meningkat dengan peningkatan rawatan kandungan air dalam tanah pada 0 dan 170 kg ha-1. Keputusan kami menunjukkan bahawa air dan nitrogen boleh memberi kesan kepada kesuburan tanah dan aktiviti mikrob bayam.

Kata kunci: Air; baja nitrogen; kepelbagaian mikrob; kualiti tanah; rizosfera
