Egypt to study the influence of Funneliformis mosseae (with and without inoculation) under different organic manures types: Chicken manure (ChM) and Farmyard manure (FYM) and rates (0.0, 10 and 20m 3 /feddan) on G. grandiflorus L. cv. White Prosperity on the vegetative growth and productivity. The obtained results showed that chicken manure addition at 20m 3 fed -1 significantly increased gladiolus vegetative growth, flowering characters and reduced days to spike emergence and days to first floret opening during the two seasons. This treatment enhanced corm values and productivity with improvement of chemical constituent values during the two seasons. F. mosseae inoculation significantly increased all vegetative growth, flowering characters (except that of days to spike emergence and days to first floret opening), corms productivity and chemical constituents during both seasons. The interaction between F. mosseae and ChM or FYM significantly increased the formation and percentage of F. mosseae spore density, root colonization and structure (hyphae, vesicles and arbuscules) compared with control treatment. F. mosseae structures significantly increased by adding ChM at two rates (10 or 20m 3 fed -1 ) which gave the highest values at flowering stage compared with after 30 days and harvesting stage in the two seasons.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
