1 Means of 5 plants per plot. 2 RFR = Recommended fertilizer rate (Full, 120-240-120 kg NPK/ha). ½ RFR= 60-120-60 kg NPK/ha.. There was also no significant difference on growth of Yellow Granex and Red Creole using the two fertilizer levels. This indicates that the application of full fertilizer recommendation is unnecessary in areas where indigenous mycorrhizae are present in the soil.
