| 总结: | Malaysia has a vast area (200,000 ha) of abandoned barren sandy tailings
unsuitable for agriculture and forestry. An attempt was made to convert these
lands into a sustainable production system through establishment of Acacia
mangium and peanut agroforestry system. The effect of arbuscular
mycorrhiza (AM) in combination with P fertilization was studied on mangium
seedlings in the glasshouse and on sole mangium and mangium + peanut
agroforestry system on the sandy tailings in the field. Gafsa (GPR) and China
(CPR) phosphate rocks along with TSP and control were tested with and
without AM on mangium seedlings planted on the sandy tailings in the
glasshouse. Growth, nodulation and nutrition of mycorrhizal seedlings were
significantly higher than non mycorrhizal seedlings. Gafsa PR and TSP with
AM produced superior seedlings compared to the other treatments probably
due to higher P release from these two P sources. Mycorrhizal seedlings
given GPR and TSP attained a height of 30 cm (recommended for outplanting) within 65 days compared to 85 days for non mycorrhiza I
seedlings. The cheaper GPR with AM was hence recommended. I n another
trial, six P rates (0, 20, 40, 60, 80 and 100 mg P kg-1 soil) in combination with
two AM treatments were evaluated. Gafsa PR at 50 mg P kg-1 soil with AM
was suggested for raising mangiu m seedlings on sandy tailings. Five rates of
AM inoculum (0, 15, 30, 45 and 60 g plant-1) were then tested on peanut on
the sandy tailings in the glasshouse. An inoculum level of 20 g planr1 was
decided for field application. Field performance of AM inoculated and
uninoculated mangium seedlings given 0, 50 and 100 g GPR planr1 were
further evaluated in the sole culture for 160 days, and in association with
peanut from 200 to 290 days after planting (DAP). Growth performance of
inoculated and uninoculated mangium plants was similar until 70 DAP, but
from 100 DAP onwards mycorrhizal plants had significantly higher growth with
maximum growth obtained at 50 g GPR plant-1 . This combination is therefore
recommended as optimum for mangium in the field. Yield of AM associated
peanut grown at 185 to 285 DAP under mangium was significantly higher.
This increased steadily from 1.18 to 1.63 t ha-1 with increase in GPR from 0 to
100 kg P ha-
1. Hence, 100 kg P ha-1 from GPR with AM has been suggested
for the associated peanut. Organic matter and nutrient contents of the soil
also improved under this agroforestry system, thus converting barren sandy
tailings into a sustainable production system. |
