e0“The objective of the study was to compare the effect of inoculating crops with indigenous AMF applied applied singly or combined with other Soil Fertility Amendment Practices (SFAP) on root colonisation and subsequent performance of maize (Zea mays L.) and common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.)”
e1“Bean crop was more responsive to AMF inoculation than maize in terms of yield”

Other claims from this paper (4)
- Intervention effect Application of SFAP with AMF inoculation produced no significant difference in root colonisation by AMF compared with the control treatment.
- Intervention effect Combining AMF inoculant with organic and inorganic fertilizers gave higher crop yield than AMF applied singly.
- Observation Significant differences were observed in crop yield among the AMF and soil amendment treatments.
- Recommendation Indigenous AMF species have potential as an environmentally friendly soil fertility method to improve maize and bean production potential, subject to local soil conditions.
