Effect of Compost and Mycorrhizal Inoculation on Growth, Yield and Disease Incidence of Two Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) Varieties in Cameroon
Abstract
The present study aimed to evaluate the effect of various natural fertilizers on growth and seed yield of wheat plants. Field experiments were conducted during the 2023 cropping season. A split-plot experimental design with three replications was used. The first factor was fertilization, with five treatments (negative control: seedlings receiving no fertilizer (T0), positive control: synthetic chemical fertilizer 20-10-10 + Urea 46% (T1), compost derived from cow dung manure (T2); mycorrhizal inoculum (T3), compost derived from poultry litter (T4)); the second factor was variety, with 02 wheat varieties (IRAD1 and IRAD2). Wheat growth parameters and seed yield were evaluated. The results showed that the growth and seed yield of wheat varied significantly (p
