Pigeon Pea and Cowpea-Based Cropping Systems Improve Vesicular Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungal Colonisation of Subsequent Maize on the Alfisols in Central Malawi
Table 3
Pearson correlations between VAM colonisation percentages and plant tissue P concentration (% P), plant tissue nitrogen concentration (% N), total dry matter, and grain yields for year two.

Note. Correlations were only presented for level of VAM fungal colonisation (%) against the other parameters; = significant at P < 0.05; = correlation coefficient; MZ = maize; MZ + 0N = Maize with nitrogen fertilizer application; MZ + 23N = maize with 23 kg N ha−1 application; TDM = total dry matter yield. |
