Background and aims Integrating biochar (BC) into agriculture promotes sustainable management of farm residues and carbon sequestration in soil. This study evaluates a novel approach combining suspended biochar with phosphorus (P) fertilizer to assess its effectiveness in promoting P nutrition during early maize ( Zea mays L . ) growth. Methods Biochar suspension (equivalent to 300 kg dry biochar ha −1 ) was mixed with liquid P fertilizer (30 kg P ha −1 , 33 P-labeled) and band-applied to maize in the rhizobox experiment. Five treatments—control without fertilizer, BC only, P fertilizer only, and combined BC + P with and without plants—aimed to assess the effect of biochar on soil P dynamics and plant P uptake. Results Our findings demonstrate that liquid P fertilizer can be effectively combined with biochar suspension without reducing P availability. After 38 days, up to 25% of fertilizer-P was recovered in the soil’s available P pool, regardless of BC presence. 33 P-imaging confirmed that P movement from the fertilizer band was not restricted by BC. Fertilizer increased plant P uptake, height, biomass, leaf area, root length and volume. Biochar significantly increased fertilizer-P recovery in plants from 14.9% to 17.6%, supporting nutrient cycling and fertilizer efficiency. 33 P-imaging revealed higher activity of 33 P in maize roots with BC + P co-application, though P redistribution patterns remained unchanged; plant roots showed neither preference nor suppression near biochar, even upon direct contact. Conclusion Localized co-application of biochar and P in suspension promotes maize growth during critical early stages and increases phosphorus use efficiency, supporting sustainable agriculture and a circular economy.

背景和目的将生物炭（BC）纳入农业可促进农业残留物的可持续管理和土壤中的碳固存。本研究评价了悬浮生物炭与磷(P)肥相结合的新方法，以评估其在早期玉米（Zea mays L .）生长过程中促进磷营养的有效性。方法在根箱试验中，将生物炭悬浮液（相当于300 kg干生物炭/ h - 1）与30 kg P / h - 1、33 P标记的液态磷肥混合施用于玉米。研究了生物炭对土壤磷素动态和植物磷素吸收的影响。研究了生物炭对土壤磷素动态和植物磷素吸收的影响。结果液肥与生物炭悬浮液在不降低磷素有效性的情况下可以有效配合施用。38天后，无论BC是否存在，土壤有效磷库中高达25%的肥料磷被回收。33 P-成像证实了磷从肥料带的移动不受BC的限制。施肥增加了植株吸磷量、株高、生物量、叶面积、根长和体积。生物炭显著提高了植物的肥磷回收率，从14.9%提高到17.6%，支持养分循环和肥料效率。33磷成像显示，BC + P共施玉米根系中33磷活性较高，但磷的再分配模式保持不变；植物根系在生物炭附近既不表现出偏好，也不表现出抑制，即使直接接触也是如此。结论生物炭和磷在悬浊液中局部混施可促进玉米早期生长，提高磷的利用效率，支持可持续农业和循环经济。图形化的

Aims Trichoderma is a filamentous fungus beneficial to crops and widely used as biofungicide. Its mechanisms of action as a biological control agent against phytopathogenic fungi include mycoparasitism and the induction of plant defense responses. On the other hand, Sclerotinia sclerotiorum is an important pathogen for Brassica crops, effectively suppressed by Trichoderma . The aim of this work is to determine whether T. hamatum can release elicitors from the cell wall of S. sclerotiorum that activate plant systemic defenses against the pathogen. Methods Liquid fermentation of T. hamatum on S. sclerotiorum mycelium was performed. In the resulting fungal filtrates, chitinase and β-endoglucanase activities were quantified, along with the amounts of glucosamine and glucan oligomers produced. These filtrates were subsequently applied to the roots of broccoli plants ( Brassica oleracea var. italica ), which were later foliar-infected with the pathogen. Lesions produced were measured and different systemic defensive responses were evaluated through hormonomics, glucosinolate profiling and non-targeted metabolomics. Results In fungal filtrates of T. hamatum cultured on S. sclerotiorum , chitinase (7.56–8.32 units/mL) and β-endoglucanase (3.45 units/mL) activity was determined. These filtrates also contained the highest amounts of glucosamine (0.75 g/L) and glucan oligomers (43.8 g/L). When applied to broccoli plants, the filtrates triggered a systemic defense response that was effective against the pathogen. This response was mediated by the hormones jasmonic acid, isopentenyladenine and ethylene, leading to the accumulation of antifungal compounds in the leaves, including glucobrassicin, niacin and several fatty acids. This defensive induction was not observed with glucosamine oligomers. Conclusions Therefore, T. hamatum releases glucan oligomers from the cell wall of S. sclerotionum which may act as potential elicitors of systemic plant defenses. Highlights • T. hamatum releases oligomers from the S. sclerotiorum cell wall by enzymatic action. • Glucan oligomers, but not glucosamine oligomers, induce systemic plant resistance. • Systemic resistance is mediated by ethylene/jasmonic acid, a response to necrotrophs. • Reduced S. sclerotiorum -foliar infection is due to an accumulation of glucobrassicin and niacin. • Trichoderma is able to release plant defense elicitors from the pathogen cell wall.
目的木霉是一种对作物有益的丝状真菌，被广泛用作生物杀菌剂。其作为植物病原真菌生物防治剂的作用机制包括真菌寄生和诱导植物防御反应。另一方面，菌核菌是芸苔属作物的重要病原菌，木霉能有效抑制菌核菌的生长。本研究的目的是确定hamatum是否能从菌核菌细胞壁释放激发子，激活植物对病原菌的系统防御。方法以菌丝体为培养基，对发酵液进行发酵。在得到的真菌滤液中，几丁质酶和β-内切葡聚糖酶活性被量化，同时葡萄糖胺和葡聚糖低聚物的产量也被量化。这些滤液随后被施用于西兰花植物（Brassica oleracea var. italica）的根部，这些植物随后被病原菌感染。测量了产生的病变，并通过激素组学、硫代葡萄糖苷谱和非靶向代谢组学评估了不同的全身防御反应。结果在菌核菌上培养的红霉病菌滤液中检测到几丁质酶（7.56 ~ 8.32单位/mL）和β-内切葡聚糖酶（3.45单位/mL）活性。这些滤液还含有最高量的葡萄糖胺（0.75 g/L）和葡聚糖低聚物（43.8 g/L）。当应用于西兰花植物时，滤液引发了对病原体有效的系统防御反应。这种反应是由茉莉酸、异戊烯腺嘌呤和乙烯等激素介导的，导致抗真菌化合物在叶片中积累，包括葡萄花青素、烟酸和几种脂肪酸。这种防御性诱导在氨基葡萄糖低聚物中没有观察到。因此，毒霉从菌核菌细胞壁释放葡聚糖低聚物，可能是植物系统防御的潜在促子。•T. hamatum通过酶促作用从S. sclerotiorum细胞壁释放低聚物。•葡聚糖低聚物，而不是氨基葡萄糖低聚物，诱导植物系统性抗性。•系统性耐药是由乙烯/茉莉酸介导的，这是对坏死细胞的反应。减少菌丝体叶面感染是由于葡萄花青素和烟酸的积累。•木霉能够从病原体细胞壁释放植物防御激发子。
