Abstract The present work aimed to study the effect of compost and arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) on soil physicochemical parameters on garlic (Allium sativum L.) growth, physiology, biochemical traits, and yield under environmental conditions. The application of AMF or compost increased both carbonic and mineral contents in soil. An improvement of 92% and 35% was observed in case of total organic carbon in soil of plant amended with compost and inoculated with AMF, respectively, compared to the control. Indeed, available phosphorus and total nitrogen were increased by 139% and 52% in case of compost + AMF compared to the control. Mycorrhizal frequency was significantly higher in AMF than in compost + AMF plants, while compost application did not significantly affect the mycorrhizal intensity in garlic roots. The application of R. irregularis, compost, and their combination enhanced the growth parameters and biomass production with the greatest improvement in AMF and compost + AMF treatments. Compost + AMF was considered the best treatment, with a yield improvement by 81% in comparison to the control. The same biostimulants applied alone or in combination significantly enhanced stomatal conductance, total soluble sugars, proteins, and the content of chlorophyll and total carotenoid in garlic plants compared to the control. Finally, we revealed the positive impact of the tested biofertilizers and the interest in adoption of innovative practices improving growth, physiology, biochemical traits, and soil fertility as well as biological agriculture of garlic yield.

Verbesserung von Knoblauchwachstum, Physiologie, biochemischen Merkmalen und Bodenfruchtbarkeit durch Rhizophagus irregularis und Kompost Zusammenfassung Ziel der vorliegenden Arbeit war es, die Wirkung von Kompost und arbuskulären Mykorrhizapilzen (AMF) einerseits auf physikalisch-chemische Parameter des Bodens und andererseits auf das Wachstum, die Physiologie, die biochemischen Eigenschaften und den Ertrag von Knoblauch (Allium sativum L.) unter Umweltbedingungen zu untersuchen. Die Anwendung von AMF oder Kompost erhöhte sowohl den Kohlenstoff- als auch den Mineralstoffgehalt im Boden. Im Vergleic
