BIOLOGICAL FERTILIZATION OF IRRIGATED RICE IN THE FAR NORTH OF CAMEROON - Ismael Sadou

In order to increase rice production while preserving the environment, we tested the influence of some inocula on the growth of two irrigated rice varieties in the presence and absence of chemical fertilizer. The study showed that arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi accelerate the germination rate and increase the emergence rate of rice seeds. In addition, inoculation with mycorrhizal biofertilizers significantly increased the size of rice plants. The best performing inocula for germination rate are Tropic..
