Chemical fertilizer did not support yield as much as poultry manure (PM) or arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF), individual or in a combined state. The combination of PM and AMF was the best application expressing yield in form of shoot productivity. Glomus clarum was a good fertilizing candidate in this study Keywords: Glomus clarum, maize, cowpea, fertilizers, shoot. Return to Content View Reprint (PDF) (197KB)
