Table 7.
Mycorrhizal dependency (MD)* of several parameters of damask rose plants grown under different irrigation-stressed conditions.
| Parameters | 100% FC | 25% FC |
|---|---|---|
| No. of leaves | 35.50b | 75.35a |
| Water potential | 6.58b | 16.24a |
| Total pigments | 11.34b | 20.75a |
| N | 15.22b | 28.32a |
| P | 16.01b | 38.69a |
| K | 17.81b | 25.98a |
Values in each row followed by the same letters are not significantly different at P ≤ 0.05.
FC: Field capacity.
*
MD = [(M − NM)/NM] × 100, where M is parameter value of mycorrhizal plants and NM is parameter value of non-mycorrhizal plants.
