Combination of Nitrogen-Enriched Zeolite and Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Symbiosis to Improve Growth of Maize (<i>Zea mays</i> L.) by Luis G. Sarmiento-López, Arny Matos-Alegria, Mariana E. Cesario-Solis, Daniel Tapia-Maruri, Paul H. Goodwin, Carmen Quinto, Olivia Santana, Luis Cardenas

“…In this study, the effect on growth of maize was examined following soil treatment with N-enriched (ZN+) zeolite, which could retain 19.68% N, or N-free zeolite (ZN−), compared to N-enriched or N-free vermiculite (VN+ and VN−). There was a 2.7-times increase in the growth of maize under ZN+ treatment compared to ZN−, indicating that N could be released from zeolite for plant growth, and a 3.8-times increase with ZN+ treatment compared to VN− or VN+, indicating that zeolite was more effective than vermiculite in releasing N for plant growth. …”
