Abstract

Objective: This study aimed at assessing the effects of mycorrhiza and phosphorus fertilizer on morphophysiological traits and yield of quinoa (Chenopodium quinoa Willd.) and maize (Zea mays L.) in an intercropping system by using of replacement method.
Methods: A complete randomized block design (CRBD), with three replications was implemented at two research farms affiliated with Shahrood University of Technology, located in Shahrood and Miami cities. The intercropping systems consisted of five cropping ratios: pure quinoa and maize cultivation, 75% quinoa + 25% maize, 50% quinoa + 50% maize, 25% quinoa + 75% maize. The first factor and phosphorus at three levels (zero, 50 and 100 kgha^-1) and mycorrhiza at two levels (use and unuse) were considered as the second and third factors.
Results: The results demonstrated that most of studied traits were significantly influenced by the intercropping systems, mycorrhiza application, and phosphorus concentrations. The highest plant height in maize (202.8 cm) and quinoa (81.3 cm) was obtained by use of mycorrhiza and phosphorus fertilizer 50 kgha^-1. Similarly, the highest leaf area index in quinoa (86.2) and maize (6.57) amount of chlorophyll in quinoa and maize respectively (2.88 and 12.39 mg/ml) were obtained in Shahrood region by using mycorrhiza and 50 kgha^-1 phosphorus fertilizer in cropping ratio 50 %.
Conclusion: According to the results, the effects of different intercropping ratio, use of mycorrhiza, and phosphorus fertilizers had a significant impact on the morphophysiological characteristics of quinoa and maize.
