Abstract | ||
A factorial pot experiment was conducted using (RCBD) design in a silty clay loam soil to study the effect of interaction between G. mosseae , T. harzianum fungal and three levels of phosphate fertilizer (0 , 44 , 88) kg P. ha-1 on growth of maize plant and nutrients concentration in leaves. The results showed that inoculation of mycorrihza and Trichodirma fungal separately or together were significantly increased plant height, leaf area, dry weight, percentage of N, P, K and Zn, Fe concenteration in leaves compared with no biofertilization irrespective with application of phosphate fertilizer. The highest averages were noticed with dual application and phosphate level (44) kg P.ha-1 which caused the following (123.20 , 161.09 , 127.16 , 31.49 , 244.44 , 45.83 , 101.80 , 138.59)% compared with control treatment, and was significantly superior over phosphate fertilizer application at a rate (88) kg P.ha-1 without inoculation. | ||
