Figure 1.

The growth (A,B), biomass (C), plant height (D), basal perimeter (E), and chlorophyll content (F) of maize plants evaluated based on two conditions: those inoculated with F. mosseae (M+) and those not inoculated (M−), and under two Cd supplementation levels: 0 mg kg⁻¹ (Cd0) and 25 mg kg⁻¹ (Cd25) for a period of 50 days. The data presented in the results represent the mean with standard error (n = 8), and statistically significant differences are indicated with asterisks (*). The level of significance is denoted as follows: (*, p < 0.05; **, p < 0.01; ***, p < 0.001, t-test). NS indicates no statistically significant difference (p > 0.05, two-way ANOVA).
