Abstract
Field experiments were conducted in farmer field in 2008 to scrutinize the effects of AM fungi in the productivity of maize/fingermillet cropping system in the rainfed dryland area of Kavrepalanchwok district. Following randomized complete block design, six treatments with four replications were maintained. Results showed significant effect of AM inoculation on plant height and yield of maize at 1% level of significance, whereas fingermillet was positive with nonsignificant difference on both parameters. Improvement in available soil phosphorus status was observed distinct in both maize (26.51±9.54 kg P2O5/ha) and fingermillet (30.11±15.15 kg P2O5/ha) in arbuscular mycorrhiza treated plots (T3) than control (T1). Arbuscular mycorrhiza spore density was also improved in the mycorrhiza treatments with (T6) and without nitrogen and potash fertiliser (T3) as compared to control (T1) in both maize and fingermillet.Key words: Biofertiliser; Endomycorrhiza; Grain yield; Soil productivityDOI: 10.3126/njst.v10i0.2823Nepal Journal of Science and Technology Volume 10, 2009 December Page: 51-55
