Experimental factors include bio-fertilizer in two levels (with and without using Mycorrhizae), irrigation in three levels (regular water, wastewater and regular water and wastewater alternatively) and two Speedfeed and Syahzan cultivars of sorghum. The results showed that irrigation with wastewater significantly increased root dry weight compared to control. Also, irrigation with wastewater increased the length, root volume and volume of Syahzan cultivar, but did not have a significant effect on the length and root level of the Speedfeed cultivar. The use of effluent reduced the volume of root of Speedfeed. Application of mycorrhiza did not affect the total length of root, root surface, root volume and root dry weight in Syahzan cultivar, But caused a significant reduction in these traits in the Speedfeed variety.Read More
