This study aims to investigate the role of arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) symbiosis in reducing N loss from paddy fields, using two rice lines: a mycorrhiza-defective rice line (non-mycorrhizal) and its mycorrhizal progenitor. Two rice lines were grown in the presence of an AM fungal isolate. In this study, N loss of runoff, leaching, N₂O emission, and NH₃ volatilization were measured, and in addition, N uptake of rice, soil aggregates, and plant available N concentration of soil. The results obtained suggest that N loss via runoff, leaching, NH₃ volatilization, and N₂O emission of mycorrhizal rice was 11%, 8%, 6%, and 1%, lower than that of non-mycorrhizal rice, respectively. Meanwhile, mycorrhizal rice has higher biomass and plant N uptake. Our study shows that the AM symbiosis contributes to the sustainability of rice production by reducing N loss, enhancing soil aggregation and increasing plant N uptake.
