Micronutrients availability including that of Zn is critical for optimum growth of plants. Zinc availability in calcareous soils of Iran is relatively low due to the presence of a large amount of CaCO3 and high pH levels. Overapplication of phosphorus to soils may also cause P-induced Zn deficiency. The objective of this experiment was to evaluate the effect of phosphorus and zinc application o...

Beneficial effects of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) on plant growth have been widely reported. But there is a lack of information on the effect of this symbiosis in soil-less culture systems. Therefore, this experiment was aimed to investigate the effect of mycorrhizal symbiosis on leaf chlorophyll index of sorghum plants grown in perlite media under micronutrients deficiency conditions. T...
