RESUMO
I. cateinannulata has been shown to promote the growth of F. tataricum. However, whether its growth-promoting capacity is related to its ability to solubilize phosphorus has not been reported. Therefore, in this study, we sought to assess the phosphorus-solubilizing ability of 18 strains of I. cateinannulata by analyzing their growth in an inorganic phosphorus culture medium. The effects of F. tataricum on growth and effective phosphorus content were analyzed through field experiments. The results showed that all 18 strains of I. cateinannulata had a phosphorus release capacity, with phosphorus solubilization ranging from 5.14 ± 0.37 mg/L to 6.21 ± 0.01 mg/L, and strain 9 exhibited the best phosphorus solubilization effect. Additionally, the field results demonstrated that I. cateinannulata positively influenced the growth, root length, and yield of F. tataricum by increasing the chlorophyll and soluble phosphorus content. This study will provide a material basis and theoretical support for investigating the interaction mechanism between I. cateinannulata and F. tataricum.
