• Resumen

  • Compost produced with chicken manure and vegetable residues enriched with arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) could become a sustainable agricultural strategy in biofertilization and bioremediation in rice (Oryza sativa L.) A completely randomized pot experiment was carried out to investigate the effects of AMF, humified composted poultry manure, and Cd on vegetative growth and elemental uptake of rice. After 90 d, rice treated with a combination of AMF and compost showed the highest plant growth. Overall, the best values in plant height, root length, chlorophyll content, and cation exchange capacity were obtained with the application of AMF and compost. In the absence of compost, Cd contamination significantly reduced AMF root colonization, while AMF alone increased root N, P, and K. Soil organic matter was higher when AMF, compost, and Cd were combined. Total soil P increased significantly with AMF inoculation (solely) compared to the rest of the treatments. The highest plant height (57.77 cm), root length (31.67 cm) and weight (167 g), shoot weight (74.67 g), and chlorophyll content (34.30 SPAD units) were achieved in the AMF-compost treatment. The highest values of root N (1.037%) and soil organic matter (2.66%) were obtained with the Compost-Cd treatment, which in turn presented lower Cd contents in roots and shoots.

    Cadmium inhibited morphological growth of the plant, biomass accumulation, and chlorophyll, but these parameters improved significantly with the application of AMF and compost, by facilitating the absorption of nutrients, particularly P.
