Abstract

This study investigated phosphorus (P) accumulation and rhizosphere characteristics of Polygonum hydropiper under high levels (400, 800, and 1600 mg P kg−1) of inorganic P (Pi) and organic P (Po), supplied as KH2PO4 and myo-inositol hexaphosphoric acid dodecasodium salt, respectively. Mining (ME) and non-mining (NME) ecotypes were used since they differed in the capacity of nutrient acquisition. Biomass and P accumulation in shoots and roots of the ME increased by increasing Pi levels, whereas they decreased by increasing Po concentrations. Rhizosphere pH declined by 0.15–0.45 U for the ME and 0.04–0.14 U for the NME. Orthophosphate was the most abundant form, and it depleted greatly in the rhizosphere, with higher effect by the ME than by the NME. Glycerophosphate and inositol hexakisphosphate concentrations increased in the rhizosphere under high Po treatments with higher effect by the ME than by the NME. Rhizosphere acid phosphomonoesterase, alkaline phosphomonoesterase, and phytase activities of both ecotypes were higher in high P treatments than the treatment without P, whereas phosphodiesterase activity decreased. Significantly higher enzyme activities were observed in the rhizosphere soil of the ME than the NME. Probably, the ME might obtain higher shoot P than the NME from P-enriched soils through changes in rhizosphere properties.
