Abstract In the current context of decline in soil fertility, degradation and climate change, use mycorrhizal inoculum is one alternatives for sustainable agriculture. This study aims to determine best combination Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi (AMF) biostimulant mineral fertilizer (NPK + Urea) improve maize production nutritional status plants on ferruginous soils. The experimental design was a completely randomized block seventeen treatments repeated three times Savè/Benin. Growth parameters were assessed at 60 days after sowing, while grain yield, physical characteristics harvest. After hierarchical classification results, we obtained group high-performing statistically homogeneous composed T10 T16. These induced an average height 185.81 ± 1.16 cm, crown diameter 2.20 0.02 cm; leaf area 469.82 2.11 cm2 yield 2.98 0.11 t/ha. Treatment improved plant nutrition terms nitrogen, phosphorus potassium follow up T1 T11. High 1000-grain weights recorded with hardness produced decreased as root mycorrhization increased. It appears from results that application based arbuscular fungi evaluated. addition, But this research deserves be handled field order lead economic profitability study.
