BioGrow Endo treated maize, c.v. Viking showed no difference in mycorrhizal colonisation or foliar phosphorous content, at 3.0g/L, when harvested 4 weeks after planting, compared to untreated controls. Treated plants showed an increase in shoot dry weight and extractable soil phosphorous at 3.0g/L, compared to untreated controls. No plants survived at application rates at and above 15.0g/L.
