In pot culture, the effects of 4 doses (0, 1, 2, 3%, w/w) of green leaf manure of Azadirachta indica A. Juss., Eucalyptus citriodora Hook, Chenopodium album L. And Parthenium hysterophorus L. Were studied on crop growth and arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) colonization in maize. All applied green leaf manures adversely affected the plant growth and AM colonization. All doses (1-3%, w/w) of green leaf manures of A. Indica, E. Citriodora, C. Album and P. Hysterophorus reduced the shoot dry biomass (31-66%, 8-44%, 31-43% and 43-54%, respectively). Similarly these doses also significantly reduced the fresh and dry biomass of roots. The green leaf manure of C. Album and P. Hysterophorus caused most suppression oil mycorrhizal development than A. Indica and E,. Citriodora green leaf manures. Root and shoot biomasses were significantly correlated with different parameters of arbuscular and vesicular colonization. |
