ABSTRACT
Using cultivated soils for rice seedlings can reduce the sustainability of arable land and thus giving negative impacts to food production. As a substitute, spent mushroom compost (SMC), which has high water-holding capacity and nutrient content, shows great potentials. To determine the impacts of the proportion of SMC and paddy soil on seedling quality, rhizosphere microbial characteristics, and fungal pathogens in rice seedling substrates, we conducted a 21-day pot experiment for rice seedling under five treatments CK, 100% paddy soil; R1, 20% SMC and 80% paddy soil; R2, 50% SMC and 50% paddy soil; R3, 80% SMC and 20% paddy soil; and R4, 100% SMC. The results showed that incorporating SMC into the substrate, especially at 50% volume (R2), increased seedling growth and vitality at the seedling growth stage without external fertilization. Moreover, the SMC amendment increased microbial activity and promoted rice seedling recruitment of plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) and fungi (PGPF). In addition, using SMC significantly reduced the abundance of pathogenic fungi, especially Magnaporthe grisea. Overall, the multi-faceted benefits exhibit the strong possibilities of using SMC in sustainable rice productions.
