Other claims from this paper (11)
- Observation The reduction under low phosphorus was especially apparent in sterilized soil without mycorrhizal inoculation.
- Intervention effect Mycorrhizal inoculation significantly increased maize growth, particularly with low phosphorus and sterilization.
- Intervention effect Mycorrhizal inoculation significantly increased maize phosphorus uptake, particularly with low phosphorus and sterilization.
- Intervention effect Maize grew much better in nonsterile than sterilized soil.
- Association Mycorrhizal dependence of maize growth was higher in sterile than nonsterile soil.
- Observation G. caledonium was the most effective mycorrhizal species for maize growth, phosphorus uptake and mycorrhizal dependence.
- Observation Low phosphorus application produced strong maize root infection by mycorrhizae.
- Intervention effect At high phosphorus application, maize root infection was slightly reduced.
- Observation Indigenous mycorrhizal spores from Harran Plain soils infected maize roots.
- Recommendation The authors concluded that mycorrhizal inoculation can improve crop production in phosphorus deficient soils.
- Recommendation The authors recommended soil and crop management to maximize indigenous mycorrhizal benefit for sustainable phosphorus management.
