The Potential of Plant Growth-Promoting Fungi Enhances the Growth, Yield, and Phytochemical Compounds of <i>Oryza sativa</i> L. (Maled Phai Cultivar) Under Field Conditions.

ABSTRACT: Excessive application of a chemical fertilizer during rice cultivation leads to soil infertility and increases production costs. An alternative way to reduce over-fertilization is to partially or fully replace the fertilizer with microbes that promote the growth and production of plants. This study aimed to investigate the Maled Phai rice cultivar (Oryza sativa L.) in a field experiment with two fungi strains. Rhizophagus variabilis KS-02 and Trichoderma zelobreve PBMP16 were selected as inocula and compared with non-R. variabilis KS-02 and non-T. zelobreve PBMP16, acting as controls, one without synthetic fertilizer and one with synthetic NPK fertilizer. The field experiment was conducted in a Randomized Complete Block design with four replications. Grow
