Other claims from this paper (10)
- Intervention effect Phosphorus fertilization increased maize height, stem diameter and leaf number regardless of inoculation.
- Intervention effect Phosphorus fertilization increased maize leaf area and dry matter yield of leaves.
- Intervention effect Phosphorus fertilization increased maize stem and sheath dry matter yield.
- Intervention effect Seed inoculation with A. brasilense and H. seropedicae increased maize root volume by 42%.
- Intervention effect Seed inoculation with A. brasilense and H. seropedicae increased maize root dry matter by 52%.
- Intervention effect Seed inoculation with A. brasilense and H. seropedicae increased maize height by 25%.
- Mechanism The inoculation response indicates increased phosphorus solubilization or phosphorus use by maize roots.
- Intervention effect A. brasilense inoculation with phosphorus fertilization increased maize relative chlorophyll content by 23%.
- Mechanism The chlorophyll response resulted in higher metabolic structure for maize photosynthetic activity.
- Intervention effect Phosphorus fertilization did not affect maize leaf CO2 assimilation rate.
