    Soil moisture modulates biological nitrification inhibitors release in sorghum plants
    (Springer, 2023) Bozal-Leorri, Adrián; Arregui Odériz, Luis Miguel; Torralbo, Fernando; González Moro, María Begoña; González Murua, Carmen; Aparicio Tejo, Pedro María; Institute on Innovation and Sustainable Development in Food Chain - ISFOOD; Institute for Multidisciplinary Research in Applied Biology - IMAB
    Background and aims: Sorghum (Sorghum bicolor) is able to exude allelochemicals with biological nitrifcation inhibition (BNI) capacity. Therefore, sorghum might be an option as cover crop since its BNI ability may reduce N pollution in the following crop due to a decreased nitrifcation. However, BNI exudation is related to the physiological state and development of the plant, so abiotic stresses such as drought might modify the rate of BNI exudation. Hence, the objective was to determine the efect of drought stress on sorghum plants’ BNI release. Methods: The residual efects of sorghum crops over ammonia-oxidizing bacteria (AOB) were monitored in a 3-year feld experiment. In a controlled-conditions experiment, sorghum plants were grown under Watered (60% WFPS) or Moderate drought (30% WFPS) conditions, and fertilized with ammonium sulphate (A), ammonium sulphate+DMPP (A+D), or potassium nitrate (KNO3 −). Soil mineral N was determined, and AOB populations were quantifed. Additionally, plant biomass, isotopic discrimination of N and C, and photosynthetic parameters were measured in sorghum plants. Results: In the driest year, sorghum was able to reduce the AOB relative abundance by 50% at feld conditions. In the plant-soil microcosm, drought stress reduced leaf photosynthetic parameters, which had an impact on plant biomass. Under these conditions, sorghum plants exposed to Moderate drought reduced the AOB abundance of A treatment by 25% compared to Watered treatment. Conclusion: The release of BNI by sorghum under limited water conditions might ensure high soil NH4 +-N pool for crop uptake due to a reduction of nitrifying microorganisms.

    Synthetic nitrogen (N) fertilizers and their increased production and utilization have played a great role in increasing crop yield and in meeting the food demands resulting from population growth. Nitrate (NO3−) is the common form of nitrogen absorbed by plants. It has high water solubility and low retention by soil particles, making it prone to leaching and mobilization by surface water, which can seriously contaminate biological environments and affect human health. Few methods exist to measure nitrate in the soil. The development of ion selective sensors provides knowledge about the dynamics of nitrate in the soil in real time, which can be very useful for nitrate management. The objective of this study is to analyze the performance of three commercial probes (Nutrisens, RIKA and JXCT) under the same conditions. The performance was analyzed with respect to electrical conductivity (EC) (0–50 mS/cm) and nitrate concentration in aqueous solution and in sand (0–180 ppm NO3−) at 35% volumetric soil moisture. Differences were shown among probes when studying their response to variations of the EC and, notably, only the Nutrisens probe provided coherent accurate measurements. In the evaluation of nitrate concentration in liquid solution, all probes proved to be highly sensitive. Finally, in the evaluation of all probes’ response to modifications in nitrate concentration in sand, the sensitivity decreased for all probes, with the Nutrisens probe the most sensitive and the other two probes almost insensitive.
