| Popis: | The attainment of the millennium for development objectives require to improve the productivity of major cultures like maize ( Zea mays L .). The present study aimed to assess the potential of Glomus cubens , Rhizophagus intraradices and Funneliformis mosseae to improve the productivity of corn cultivated on reddish ferrous soil in Southern Benin . A block of nine treatments with four repetition completely randomized was installed ¶ . Plant height and diameter and leaf area are growth parameters measured. Grain yield and endomycorrhizal infection were also evaluated . The best growths and grain yield ( 2.33 t/ha and 2.12 t/ha) were obtained respectively with the plants treated with R . intraradices + 50% of NPK and G . cubens + 50% of NPK compared to the control plants ( 1.48 t/ha ). Moreover , the great frequencies of mycorhization ( 44% and 32.25% were observed respectively on the plants treated with G . cubens + 50% of NPK and R . intraradices + 50% NPK . These results show that the respective combination of these two Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi with 50% NPK can increase of 50% the seeds yield of corn compared to the seeds yield obtained with the control plants . In addition , G . Cubens and R . intraradices are active in the colonization of maize roots . Use of R . Intraradices or G . cubens in combination with 50% of NPK help to increase the corn productivity and to reduce of half the chemical fertilizer commonly used by corn farmers at Southern Benin . |
