Abstracts |
Effects of inoculation with arbuscular-mycorrhizal fungi and phosphorus fertilization on growth and uptake of N and P by maize plants were studied in pots in a net house in sterile and non-sterile soil under drought-stressed and unstressed conditions. The inoculation with Glomus mosseae (40 g inoculum per 3 k-soils) alone and with P (120 kg P/ha) increased height, dry weight of the shoot and root, and N and P content of maize plants. Phosphorus fertilization reduced the degree of infection without affecting plant growth and uptake of N and P. |
