The 2019 experiment program. The experiment was conducted in pots in an open greenhouse over an entire growing season (winter season followed by spring–summer season). The late wilt susceptible maize genotype Prelude cv. was grown on M. maydis-infected soil in which wheat or clover had been grown as a crop prior to maize in this dual cultivation. The controls included the same prior crop soil but with tillage or soil that had not been cropped before the maize growth (control). Additionally, for comparison, the commercial Resid MG product of Arbuscular mycorrhizal, Glomus iranicum var. tenuihypharum (Symborg S.L., Murcia, Spain, supplied by BioBee Biological Systems, Sde Eliyahu, Israel) was tested as an addition to the soil that had not been cropped before growth.
