Other claims from this paper (9)
- Intervention effect Water stress, mycorrhiza and zinc chelate significantly affected all measured maize traits.
- Association The three-way interaction was significant for all traits except grains per cob and biomass.
- Association Water stress and mycorrhiza interacted significantly for grains per cob and 100 grain weight.
- Association Water stress and zinc chelate interacted significantly for 100 grain weight.
- Intervention effect Seven-day irrigation with mycorrhiza and zinc chelate had the highest chlorophyll SPAD.
- Intervention effect Seven-day irrigation with mycorrhiza and zinc chelate had the highest yield components.
- Intervention effect Seven-day irrigation with mycorrhiza and zinc chelate had the highest harvest index.
- Mechanism The authors concluded mycorrhiza could enhance corn water efficiency under drought.
- Recommendation The authors recommend shorter irrigation periods with zinc chelate and mycorrhizal colonization to increase maize yield.
