Effect of Arbuscularmycorrhizal Fungi and Poultry Manure on Growth and Nutrients Uptake by Maize under Field Condition

Field experiment was conducted to study the effect of arbuscularmycorrhizal fungi (AMF) and poultry manure (PM) on the growth and nutrients uptake by maize. The experiment was laid out in a randomized complete block design with 6 levels of PM in tones ha-1 (0, 4, 6, 8, 10, & 12) and 2 levels...
