Full TextAbstract
In recent years, biological fertilizers have received special attention in sustainable agriculture. Inoculation with arbuscular mycorrhizal fungus and free living nitrogen fixing bacteria showed significant effects on corn photosynthesis and yield and the highest photosynthesis rate and yield were obtained in dual inoculation with fungus plus bacteria. This criteria were also affected copping systems but to a lower extent. Therefore in organic and low input copping systems combination of mycorrhiza and free living bacteria performed satisfactorily.
