In this experiments were carried out to
isolation of mycorrhiza from roots and spore population
from rihzosphere in ten species of angiosperms and to
investigate the effect of mycorrhiza fertilizer on the yield
of Zea mays (L.) var. rugosa Bonaf. (sweet corn ) in
Magway University during February to December 2018.
These experiments included laboratory, pot were
conducted at Magway University. In laboratory
experiment mycorrhiza infection of roots were calculated by
grid-line intersection method and spore population were
collected by spore decanting method. The highest
infection was observed in roots of Dactylotenium
aegyptium (L.)Willd. (72.1%) and the Lowest infection
was occurred in Phyllanthus urinaria L. (19.5 %). Highest
number of spore was observed in rhizosphere of Chloris
barbata SW. (55). and lowest number of spore was
observed in Leucas aspera (Willd.) Spreng ( 13 ). In pot
experiment, the effect of mycorrhiza infected grass roots
on yield of sweet corn were also investigated. It was
observed that yield of treated plants were significantly
higher than the control plants at 5% level. These results
also indicated that yield parameter of the earliest day to
50% tasseling and earing was found in treated with VAM
, and the latest was observed in the control. The yield
component of ear yield ,ear size, ear weight and 1000
grains weight were obviously increased the effect of
treated with VAM, than control at harvested time
According to result suggested that, the use of mycorrhiza
had a higher positive effect of yield on Zea may s(L.) var
rugosa Bonaf.(sweet corn).
