Glyphosate and phosphorus (P) fertilizer may alter arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungal infection rates of glyphosate-tolerant cotton, maize, and soybean in low-P soil. Microbial biomass, water soluble P, Mehlich-3 P, and acid and alkaline phosphatase activities were not significantly impacted by glyphosate or P in the greenhouse. Phosphorus fertilization decreased mycorrhizal infection rates in cotton and maize and increased shoot biomass and shoot P in soybean in 2005, and decreased mycorrhizal infection in soybean and increased shoot biomass in cotton and maize and shoot P in all three crops in 2006. In pasteurized soil, glyphosate decreased percent mycorrhizal infection in maize, increased infection in cotton, and did not significantly affect infection in soybean. When soil was not pasteurized, glyphosate did not significantly alter mycorrhizal infection in any crop. The potential for glyphosate to alter AM fungal infection in glyphosate-tolerant plants may depend on whether soil microbial communities are compromised by other factors.
