Abstrakt: In this study, the arbuscular mycorrhizal fungus (G. mosseae) and endosymbiont (P. indica) colonized Zea mayswere treated with calcium phosphate nanoparticles (CaPNPs) and evaluated for their plant growth promotion efficiency. It was observed that CaPNPs in combination with both G. mosseaeand P. indicaare more potent plant growth promoter than independent combinations of CaPNPs + G. mosseae,CaPNPs + P. indicaor CaPNPs alone. The fluorimetric studies of treated plants revealed that CaPNPs alone and in combination with P. indicacan enhance vitality of Zea maysby improving chlorophyll acontent and performance index of treated plants. Hence, we conclude that CaPNPs exhibit synergistic growth promotion, root proliferation and vitality improvement properties along with endosymbiotic and arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi, which after further field trials can be developed as a cost-effective nanofertilizer with pronounced efficiency.
