Effect of Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi and Organic Fertilizers Application on Yield Components of Two Wheat Cultivars

This investigation was conducted in order to evaluate the direct effects of organic and bio - fertilizers on yield components of two native wheat cultivars, Bolani and cross - Bolani. The experiment conducted as a factorial in a completely randomized design with three replications. Treatment includes fertilizer factor: vermicompost (F1), vermicompost + compost (F2), vermicompost + mycorrhiza (F3), compost + vermicompost + mycorrhiza (F4), compost (F5), mycorrhiza + compost (F6), mycorrhiza (F7) and control (no fertilizer application F8) and cultivar factor includes two cultivar Bolani (C1) and cross - Bolani (C2). The results showed that the interaction effect of combined treatments (F7C2) of high yield (1.13 g.pot-1) obtained. The treatment combination (F7C2) of (0.355) was highest harvest index. The high correlation between weight per plant with plant height, spike length, grain yield and harvest index were observed. Generally the combined application of vermicompost and mycorrhiza cultivar cross - Bolani is more suitable for grain production.
