Abstract |
A pot experiment was executed in sandy soils to study the effect of mycorrhizal inoculation and application of three types of organic manures, i.e. biogas residues, town-refuse and sewage on wheat plants.
Results showed that incorporation of organic manures into soil enhanced plant growth as indicated by increases in shoot dry weight, N and p uptake. Sewage sludge was the superior manure followed by biogas residues, while town-refuse compost exhibited the least influence. The applied organic manures caused a slight reduction in vesicular-arbuscular mycorrhizal (VAM) infection ratios. Inoculation with VAM fungus Glomus sp. Increased shoot dry weight, N and P uptake of wheat plants by 82.8%, 98.3% and 154.5% respectively over the control. However, organic fertilization reduced differences between the inoculated (+VAM) and noninoculated (-VAM) plants due to vigorous growth of the non-inoculated plants
